Paper book or E-book

I like and use both of them
First of all I use paper book when I am home , because I dont like to carry books when I go somewhere
When I am gone from home, I always have my phone with me so if I am bored I just open an ebook and read

 

As for me I like both having a hard-copy and keeping soft-copies of books. I like collecting books actually. I have a lot of books already in my mini library at home. They are all legit copies and just photo-copied. Nonetheless, I also have thousands of copies of e-books especially the ones related to English learning. As I am an English teacher myself. I got them almost all for free on-line. My goal is to get hold of the hard-copy of those books that I have scoured on-line. I know in time I can have them all and showcase to the world.

 

To be honest, I like and prefer both.

Using a paperback book, is easy to use and there aren't any technical problems that can happen as like e-books. But carrying multiple books with multiple subjects in your bag can get pretty tiring. And also, if you rent you paperback books you can't really write and or jot down and or personalize what your reading.Using an e-book, is a lot easier to bring everywhere. Its very practical for on the go. But I have dealt with losing my previous reads on my e-books. And books getting crashed and unavailable to read.

 

I would never replace my books to ebooks and you know why? Books are easily obtainable, easily portable, It cannot cause significant eye-strain, it's a great collection and books are cheap. Although it's bulky to carry your books around, you can read it anytime you want. Unlike to e-books if you are reading on a bus or in the park and then your tablet or laptop is running out of battery then it's irritating and sometimes while reading there goes the software bugs interrupting and makes my connection to freeze-up.

 

My father has a morning newspaper subscription delivery business and it's been under 30 years and going strong, I have a smartphone with an app with all the newspaper with the internet you can easily download the headlines and everything. In my own experience I prefer reading a lot in a hard copy because of eye stress, while in the smartphone I just check out the headlines and read the 1st or up to 2nd sentences. In my opinion, in our current age, physical or digital doesn't matter as long as you can read it well, absorb information and enjoy it.

 

I prefer e-books, though both have big impacts. With an e-book you can adjust the font size and read easily and this comes in handy to those with eye problems. Carrying an i-pad or kindle is a lot easier than carrying Harry Porter's collection so basically e-books minimize on space and are flexible to use. You can easily transport a whole library with ease.

I prefer e-books when it comes to really long books like the Wheel of time series or the Complete works of some author. They're difficult to hold in book form especially when you first start or are nearing the end and it's easy to purchase almost any book you want

 

I've only read a couple books on my tablet, which can be different than some e-readers. There's the paper white one that looks as though it would be easy on the eyes, however, I have no desire to use one of these devices.

I prefer holding an actual book in my hand. I like being able to pick a book off the shelf at home, or in the store. I find that certain memories are attached to books, whereas, I don't the I would find any feelin of nostalgia from re reading a digital opt of a book.

Yes, it is easy to bring a large selection of reading material with you in digital form, and if I was doing a lot of travelling in any point of my life, I might gravitate toward digital. But on the whole, paper books are my choice.

 

I prefer ebooks to paper books. I am mostly not productive with papers. With the fast emerging trends in technology one has to keep up with the pace of the modern twenty first century. Paper books are almost on the verge of extinction.
