Perhaps I'll try starting one sometime :) I share your hatred for dog-earing and think it's terribly rude to do that to library books. I love my library and don't buy many books either. I would never, ever lend a signed book! I'm nervous even to read them myself.Katie @ Doing Deweyhttp://doingdeweydecimal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507186203094106045.post-85919351290345057292014-07-12T17:23:28.420-06:002014-07-12T17:23:28.420-06:00I feel the same about my personally owned books. ...I feel the same about my personally owned books. I only have like 5 that I haven't read but I really want to get them read. It's like a library books come in and my owned books gets pushed back. <br /><br /><br /><br />I just really love my ereader. I am still seriously glad I gave them a shot. I remember being so anti-ereader. I think that is neat that you saw them in a magazine. <br /><br /><br /><br />Luckily for me.. I don't know any readers in my life except my husband and he is allowed to read the books. Though one time I loaned out the first Harry Potter book and 2 months later they hadn't read it so I told them to get it back and kept pursuing them till I got the book. <br /><br /><br /><br />I feel the same about Dog Eared!!

But I...#1 - I predominantly read library books too! But I need to dedicate a few months to my personal bookshelf this year and avoid the library because I have so many unread books. I just can't resist the library though, especially when they keep adding new releases, which I want to read before anyone else has had the chance to touch them. New clean shiny library books are my thing. Haha.<br />#2 - I love being able to read ebooks on my Kindle and tablet as well. Though in my case, I converted my dad, not the other way around. Lol. Been wanting a electronic reading device since I was 8 years old, and these things weren't even on the market yet. They were featured in the science section of a children's monthly newsletter/magazine and I was besotted. It's so much easier to tote around a selection of books like that.<br />#7 - Loaning books in general doesn't jive very well with me. I like my books to stay in good condition, which not everyone appreciates.<br />#10 - Dog-eared books make me cringe. I mean, who does that?! It looks terrible when people do that, so I don't understand why people can't just use bookmarks or remember the page numbers.Joséphine @ Dudette Readshttp://dudettereads.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507186203094106045.post-70571444605782842014-07-11T19:17:49.695-06:002014-07-11T19:17:49.695-06:00I totally understand the borrowing books from the ...I totally understand the borrowing books from the library thing. I rarely buy books either, and most of the ones I do are ebooks, just because buying a whole lot of real books is just so expensive. Thank goodness for libraries, that's what I say!

I "thought" it was great. Then I upgraded to the Nexus 7 and realized just how dated my Nook actually was. The Nook Color isn't a tablet so that too made a big difference.
