Do You Buy Books, Magazines & Newspapers?

Or do you get it all electronically?

I don't own a kindle and never I would. I love buying books. I buy two or three magazines but I only tend to buy a paper on a Sunday.

 

Still buy books and music mags. Read newspapers on line these days. Tried reading books electronically and just couldn't get into it.

 

Read a newspaper on-line. Love books, still love the feel of paper when reading a novel, so I buy books. Only magazine I buy is Big Issue.

 

Newspaper every weekday at work, and the odd magazine I buy will usually be Total Film. Used to always buy a nuts or zoo mag when flying.
I own a kindle so read my books on there.

I never buy newspapers, I read all the news online these days. It's the same with magazines really, I used to buy music magazines occasionally but there's not much out there right now that interests me, so I can't even remember the last time I bought one.

I still buy books though. Not that I've read that much lately, but there's something nice about holding a proper book in your hands.

 

I buy books all the time. I have just got a Kindle which I am trying out after being adamant that I wouldn't get one. Annoyingly, I think I might actually prefer it but I'm not admitting that yet!

 

I've never tried a Kindle. Perhaps I'll change my mind too if I ever get one of those...

 

Electronic books and mags.

 

I rarely buy a newspaper these days, I read the news online but I still prefer a proper book and magazine.

I used to subscribe to an online newspaper but it just didn't seem great value when I can get it free.

 

It's fantastic for when you're lying in bed as 1) It lights up so you don't have to get back out of bed to switch the light off/use a book light and it doesn't disturb anyone else as it doesn't light up the whole room. 2) You don't get a sore thumb from trying to hold a book open whilst not damaging the spine. 3) It's really easy to turn the page with a slight touch rather than trying to physically turn one with one hand.

If I'm on the sofa etc. I do like to hold a book though.

 

Only books these days. Read all my sport and news etc online.

 

Fixed that for you.

 

I love books and magazines. However, it's over thirty years since I bought a newspaper. I'm not in the slightest bit interested in owning a Kindle.

 

Never ever read books in any form, real or electronic. Follow the news online so never buy a paper, never have done since the internet arrived, can't see the point. Follow subjects that interest me on the net so don't buy magazines either.

 

I've just discovered Val McDermid.

 

Couple of magazines a month , paper every day and I do love a good book . I'm a techno addict but still prefer a bit of retro

 

Never dreamt of reading "electronically" until I discovered that a book I was desperate to read was only available as a download.

Put Kindle app onto my tablet and I haven't bought a "proper" book since...saves you a fair few bob too.

 

Read books plus have a kindle. I prefer having books but the convenience of the kindle for the train commute is great. Also better for going on holiday, can take plenty and once finished a book have a decent choice of what I fancy reading next.
Occasionally buy a paper but get most of my news online or on tv.
Read a couple of mags a month.

 

Buy books (have a library of some 200 or more) I don't generally save paperbacks, unless BFC related. Also purchase a Daily paper plus Chronicle, the Spectator and Radio Times
