If this were a poll,

Somehow it seemed obvious to me you meant traditional books on paper sitting in a bookshelf, gathering dust and losing color.

Indeed I did, but for the purpose of learning about other's interests, I suppose emitation books could also count. This reminds me of something I either read or overheard. It went something like this:

You know what I hate about e-books? It's the smell.

E-books don't smell.

Exactly. I miss that.

I do not own a single e-book, and don't like reading books in an electronic format (even though I'm a computer scientist...).

Somehow I cannot bring it over myself to sell any of the books I've read, even if it was a bad one. I'd like to go into my library room when I'm old to see what I've read during my life and what has formed my character and made me the man I then will be, and I also like to look up details from a book if something in life caused me to remember it (which happens quite frequently). Strangely, I only think so about books, not movies. That's also the reason why I don't like to borrow books - if I'll read a book, I like to have it in my library afterwards! I don't think I'll ever buy an ebook either, for similar reasons.

This expresses my own sentiments to a T. I would have said almost exactly the same had I been the first to write it.
