I never thought I'd change, coming from a publishing background, but my kids gave me an iPad the night Linda had her transplant and I find it amazingly convenient for those long waits at the hospital or therapy. Now I'm hooked.

I think if I had a Kindle, iPad, or the like, I'd like ebooks. I've had ebooks on my computer for ages; since the time when Baen was giving away free scifi novels, and project gutenberg started, and have a kindle reader on my computer, but I never use it. Portability is important.

The one major difference as to why I prefer one over the other is that all 'real' books can be freely given or loaned to whomever, whenever. eBooks are not that flexible

I had to vote ebooks. I really really love love real books, but so much so that my house is overcrowded with books and I have no more room left. So I got a kindle and I love it. I still buy books from authors so I feel like I am still supporting them. I still borrow/lend actual book books with people. I think you can borrow/lend with kindle, now, I just haven't found out the details yet.
