Books Vs. Kindle/Nook

Which would you prefer? A 400 page book in your hands or a Kindle (or Nook) to read the same story/novel from?


Personally, I'd prefer the real deal. Let me tell you why!


I just honestly love the way books can smell. One of the first things I do when I pick up a book is to open the cover and thumb through the pages, making the air and scent of the pages blow into my face. It is a very satisfying sensation for me.


*Random Side Note: The very first thing I do with a hardcover book is take the paper cover off it because I get really annoyed with it sliding up or down the hardcover. I just take it off and slide it into the slot in my bookshelf where the book came from so I can put it back.*


I know that books can sometimes be heftier, bulkier, and just generally harder to carry around with you, but I can't help but to favor them.I realize that a Kindle or a Nook is more sensible nowadays, but I would still rather carry around a book rather than a Nook. 


I also know that if I were to choose a Kindle or a Nook, I'd be able to take with me way more than just one or two books. I could take with me as many as I can fit into the memory of the device. This makes traveling easier, and could possibly get rid of the need for bookshelves that take up space in a room.


But, it really is the turning of the page that makes a book more worth my while.


It helps that reading a computer screen (which is what it'd be like using a Kindle or Nook) is more damaging for my eyes and leads to more headaches (literally) for me.


Those are just a few reasons why I much prefer a real book than a Kindle/Nook. Which do you prefer?
