I would be lost! I love the feel of a book in my hand and the process of turning pages and exploring.

I would HATE it! I love holding a book when I read. I love seeing my books on my bookshelf and I like passing on some of my books to my grandchildren who feel the same way I do about books.

I would be devastated if my local library closed down. I don't think I would ever buy a Kindle because I like the feel of a book. I pass books on to my daughter, and she feels the same way.
Thanks for the giveaway.

I would be really sad. There are time when you just want to read a certain book or need to pick up one for a reason that you just wouldnt be able to do anymore.

I would like a part of me was missing. I love reading, and I don't know what I would do without it.

If physical books and libraries were suddenly gone, I would probably lose my mind. I cannot afford one of those devices where you can download the book. Plus, I am on the computer all the time for my online college courses so when I take a break, the last thing I want to do is stare at another bright screen. My eye sight has already been affected. At the end of the day, I like to take a hot shower and go to bed with a spicy book and a glass of wine. There are so many stressors in my daily life; if my “me” time where I escape to another world was taken away - I would go mad.

I would be thankful for the books that I have and never part with them. They would be like gold to me. It would be a tragedy to lose bookstores and libraries. To me they are places of comfort and relaxation.

I thrive on book stores, it gives me a sense of peace and quiet when in them. To me it is my lounging time for me.
I would love to read this book.

The closing of bookstores and libraries would be devastating to the literacy of all segments of this nation. For many, our free libraries provide the only source of books, periodicals, computers, and research materials that are readily available.
I would be truly devastated if all the physical bookstores and libraries closed. There's something so satisfying about spending time browsing actual shelves.

Sounds like a nightmare to me! There's a sense of community in both libraries and bookstores that I don't experience in other public places. And I love being able to wander around and just see what catches my eye. I'm glad I live in the time of physical books. I don't mind e-books, but only as an alternative, not a replacement.

I would really be hurting. Because I love to read, but absolutely hate e-books and books on CD. I like having my book in my hands and being able to turn paper pages. If they should close all the book store and libraries, I don't know what I will do. I'm just to old fashioned to make any changes now.
