    Printed books for books which teach and have patterns in them, digital for those I'd only read once.

    I agree, printed books for reference and quilting, digital for books I would only read once.

  3. Digital get my vote. It's green and I can carry my laptop to my studio and cutting table or wherever I need to see it. It's cheaper and NO recycling! It's win win win win…an so on.

    I've only started to use digital books, but brownj's comment looks agreeable. Digital books are a good way to take lots on vacation, but I do like paper books for "doing" things from…whether it's cooking, quilting,or practicing yoga.

    I love a printed book. What I've found is that digital books find themselves languishing in la-la land while I puruse for inspiration in my printed ones. 🙁 Digital are usually cheaper but I wonder about the financial layout when they don't get utilized like a printed ones do.

  7. Hands down, printed books. I love reading blogs and articles online, but books….there is just nothing to compare with the 'real' thing. And they look so much prettier on the shelf. 🙂

    I seem to be buying both these days. I love the lower price of the digital and I'll buy more of them because of that. If it's something I'm going to keep going back to, I'll usually end up buying both. That way I always have a copy when I travel.

    I still really like the feel of a good book in hand but I'm warming up to the idea of digital because my bookshelves can't hold any more books plus I can carry lots of digital books when travel and they're always close at hand.
