E-books or print?

I read this article today, and thought it was going to be one more attempt to shame e-book fans. I was pleasantly surprised to see it was, instead, a fairly balanced picture of the pros and cons of e-books.

I think the last paragraph sums it up best. I ADORE my kindle. Some days it is my favorite child. I have insurance on it. I have a pretty cover for it. If the battery on both my kindle and my phone are low I charge the kindle first. But that doesn't mean I don't love print books too. I have shelves full of them. But I don't need to keep EVERY book I read...that's hoarding. So for books I may not read again, or for borrowing books (via overdrive and kindle unlimited) I prefer e-book format. I admit I've even caught myself clicking on a word in a print magazine, expecting to be able to see the definition, or tapping a page on my paperback waiting for it to turn. Silly? Sure. But I'm okay with that.

  1. E-book system is a good and innovative way to read books but I still prefer to read printed books. I don’t like the idea of me constantly focusing on my laptop or tab screen. As I am a full time Online Assignment Writer so, most of my time is spend in front of high resolution screen which is why; I prefer printed books over E-books.

  3. Eternal conversation! E-books are convenient and portable, but there is something timeless about the smell and feel of a printed book. I think it ultimately comes down to personal preference.
