There's something to be said about the feel of turning real pages in a book, when you're reading. According to a new study, that's what causes a lot of people to want to read actual books.

A new study from Oxfam finds half of people say they just want to physically turn pages. More than 40 percent say they like the feel of a book in their hands, as opposed to reading one on an iPad or a Kindle.


More than 30 percent say a real book helps them get into the story that they're reading more than an electronic version.

Only 16 percent say they prefer e-books... and even fewer say their choice for reading is to listen to an audio book.
