The Feature & Follow is a creative meme that allows bloggers to get to know each other, and gain more followers! It is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee and Alison Can Read.
If you would like, it would be great if you followed me via Email, Linky, Bloglovin, or Google+ (all on the right). I have no idea what's going on with GFC, so I'd prefer you follow me in a new manner. Let me know in the comments if you did, leave a link to your blog, and I will comment and follow back! I always do, I promise! Thank you!
Q: What is your preferred reading format? Hardcover, eBooks, paperback etc?
Ah, this question. It's a complex question! Some people get really riled up at the thought of ebooks. Or people roll with the times and jump on that bandwagon.
Here's my thing: I love hardcover and paperback copies of books. Those will ALWAYS be the formats I covet, will always be worth more sentimentally (and financially) than ebooks. There's nothing like holding a book in your hands and reading. I never thought I would start reading in the ebook format.
But I love ebooks. They save space. Most of the time, they're cheaper. They're also more environmentally friendly (less paper, less ink, less water for the paper). I got my Kindle in January 2011. At the time, and up until February 2013, I still read more print books than ebooks.
What changed? I signed up for NetGalley and Edelweiss is February 2013. Suddenly, all those eARCs that I requested and were approved for started piling up and needed to be read. So, in the past months, I've been reading more books in ebook format than in hardcover/paperback format.
And really recently, I've been getting a few print ARCs here and there. I can't really remember the last time I bought a print copy of a book, because I have been SWAMPED in eARCs and print ARCs.

Do I still love hardcover/paperback books? Heck yeah. Will I continue buying hardcover/paperback books? Heck yeah. Will I read books in ebook format? Of course!
Basically, I love print books, but I also love ebooks. And there is nothing wrong with that.
