Discussion: eReaders vs. Books!

     This was another thing I became inspired from by LittleBookOwl on YouTube. She had this discussion where she was listing the pros and cons for both eReaders and actual books, and also which one she prefers in various situations. That is kind of what I'm going to be talking about in this post. 

     Okay first off, I have a Kindle Fire and I love it. I love how it's synced with my Amazon account. I also love getting e-mails every day showing me my Kindle Daily Deals, which lists a bunch of apps, books, etc on clearance.But there are also some flaws about it. 

• You can't read it in the bath tub
• You lose the experience of going to a book store
• You lose the feeling of the book 
• You have to charge it when the battery dies
• You can't drop them in a puddle and still read them

    Okay, those are only a few flaws. Now there are a lot more good things about eReaders.
They vary anywhere from being able to eat with one hand and flip pages with the other, something you can't really do with an actual book. You can also, take a bunch of books with you at once! If, for example, you're going on a trip and you want to take some books with you, but don't want to wear down your luggage, you can download as many as you'd like on your eReader and take that with you instead. Another good thing about eReaders compared to books is the expense. For eBooks you'll pay a lot less on one book than you would if you went to a book store. 

     Now we're on to regular books:





          I do have pros and cons for physical books believe it or not. I do pick up actual books more than my Kindle Fire. Actual books, I feel are more "useful" at times than eBooks.


                                                                                                                                                                                                              The Cons of regular books are:

• When you eat, crumbs and other parts of your food can fall between your pages 

     That's really the only flaw I can think of with physical books. As you can probably tell, I prefer physical books over eBooks. I've aquired more physical books than eBooks, and I just love the feel, smell, and look of physical books. eBooks you don't get the greatness of feeling the cover of the book, or smelling the smell of some older books, (I hope I'm not too strange for saying I smell my books), and, they don't really have eBooks at the library. 

     So that is my opinion on eBooks vs. Physical books! I hope I share some of the same thoughts as you. Let me know! Thank you for reading this post, I hope you enjoyed it.
