Brenna | 1 comments I have tried reading this book on kindle but I have heard from someone before that there are missing chapters?

does anyone have any advice? do I have to get it on paperbook? or is it complete via kindle?

I would love to know.


Yasmin Halliwell Fraser Bower | 50 comments Paparbacks are comfy, Hardcovers are pretty but not flexible and ebooks are not as cool, but a good way to read. I like them because I read faster with my ereader, but smelling pages is life.


Kimberly Brown (guardianwolfkim) I am an avid audio book reader, because of my busy life style.
However I always prefer a good physical book. I love paper back Because they are easier to flip through, but at the same time I prefer hard back since paper back start to look wore out quickly.

Sarai (arcadianreader) | 2 comments I love the feeling, smell, and aesthetics of physical books, especially on my bookshelf. Its much easier to flip through and go back when needed.

The problem is when I want/need to carry the book with me. Most of the times, it adds bulk and weight to my already heavy bag. Also, its difficult to hold a larger book on crowded trains.

I have a kindle and I have about 25 books on it, including the whole Harry Potter collection. There are no missing chapters in this series, nor in the other books.

For now, I find it easier and like ebooks than physical books. Its also because if I go bored I can read another book.


Alecia (yaonekohai) | 2 comments I have a complete set of first edition hardbacks that my Mom bought me when each installment came out. They have some wear and tear and now that I’m older and bought a Kindle, I also bought the complete collection on it so I don’t ruin my hardbacks more than they are. I want to preserve them as much as possible at this point.


Mads (maddiedragon) I have all first editions of the Harry potter series in hardback, except for my paperback first and second one. I prefer the way paperbacks look when they are new but now that they are all getting a bit shabby I prefer hardbacks.
I also love ebooks because of easy access and you can add notes and highlight things and add bookmarks which comes in handy a lot for me.

We have all hardcover except for the first. We have one hardcover and one paperback. Personally, I'm not a fan of ebooks. I do read them, but only when I can't get it as a book.

P. S. I like your name. My sister's name is Maddie Grace.

Jay | 4 comments Anything physical because I can't read a book on a screen. It's just not the same. So paperback or hardcover.
