I prefer to actually be able to hold the book in my hands and do what I want with it. I understand why they stop you sending them, but it does stop the book from truly feeling like yours. I'd still pick a physical book over an ebook any day! :) Charnell @ Reviews from a Bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12694156080937232949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122122426051336537.post-17738958330724449912014-07-22T11:41:33.121-05:002014-07-22T11:41:33.121-05:00I agree too!

I think that we should be able to lend ebooks. They say that some come with lending rights, but it's really only indie books and for such a short time at that. I do love ebooks however. I read on my iPhone and I feel like I can get through those quicker, and read in short snippets more easily than pulling out a paper copy. Because of that, I'm almost always reading an ebook as well as a print. But some books I want to read in print.

But on the other hand, I miss the feel of an actual book in my hand. And I definitely agree about the whole lending out books thing. There are so many I own the ebook version of that I would love to lend to my sister, but I can't. :( The thing is, normally ebooks aren't THAT much cheaper than a paperback. So why does it really matter how many people I lend it to? And what's the difference between that and the library? Isn't it the same concept? For me personally, if I like a book enough, I'm going to buy myself a physical copy anyway. If I was able to borrow the ebook from somebody it may entice me to actually buy the book whereas if I couldn't borrow the ebook I may never read the book and therefore never buy it.
