Sometimes you might not feel like sharing what you're reading with everyone around you. No one knows what I'm reading! I'm the Mikey of books, so when someone says, "Hey, CR, read this dinosaur erotica and tell me if it's as awful as it seems it would be," surprisingly not or "Someone has to read 50 Cent's book series and it's not going to be me," it shouldn't be you either, even if the title is Thong on Fire , I can read in public and no one gives me judgy eyebrows.
I personally think the weight and feel of a paper book is hard to beat most of the time, and Charis agrees:. I am still a total paper book lover. It's just satisfying curling up with a book, the smell of the pages, the heft of the book.
And there is the classic "Three B test" - bath, bus, bed. Plus, chitheatergirl points out that it's easy to immediately see how far you really are in a book:. Paper books are far superior when it comes to letting you know your place in a book, and that's why I prefer them.
I may be one of those weirdos that likes the smell of a book, but not everyone thinks the same way. DanYHKim is someone who does not think the same way:. People who love paper books will sometimes wax poetic about the unique smell of books.
For me, that is the smell of dust mites and silverfish droppings. Not everyone thinks the "feel" of a book is anything to write home about, either.
Michael Bond sees paper books as nothing but a disadvantage:. I don't really get this I used to read some big books, and having to balance that weight so that I don't have to crane my neck was a pain. When you boil it all down, you need the right type of book for the right job it seems, but everyone can at least agree that reading is definitely a job that's right. A good majority of you think there's a time and place for both ebooks and paper books.
KnightTim isn't up for battle, just reading, despite what his name might suggest:. I'm going to have to say YES. I love them both, my wife and I have several bookshelves in our house and I would not get rid of my books. I don't know about you but I love to walk into a book store and just look at random book covers. They're beautiful! You just know someone spent a long time trying to portray this wonderful story into a single picture so that you would look at it and say, "That looks cool.
They spent time and thought on this picture that represents the essence of the book and that's what draws people in. Sure they have pictures on the e-reader and you can look at the title page for some of them so you can look at the cover art for a little bit, BUT books are far easier to flip around and go from beginning to end just by turning the book around.
With an e-book you have to press several buttons before you can get back and forth from page to page. Yeah, we live in modern world, but it doesn't mean that we should forget all old things. Our parents, grandparents and other ancestors were taught by old paper book. We should remember our history and how book influences our thought. Nowadays it doesn't safe to rely on technology, Your ebook can just break and you will found yourself without your enormous library.
I believe that the best way to read a book is to hold it in my hands, With a cup of tea or coffee besides, Be on a hammock or my bed, Be in a garden or a park, The smell from book pages make me feel comfortable. Reading physical books is real reading, And books are physical friends, Not a virtual thing like how it exist on an electronic device. Traditional books are better because whenever I look at a screen for to long, It strains my eyes.
Because of this, I don't really pay attention to the story and rather my eyes. Also, It isn't very good to stare at a device before bed, Something that happens if I read e-books I read a lot before bed. E books will never be better you're just dumb ahahahah ahahah ahah ahah ahaha hahaaha hahaha hahah wooooooooah bc print books are so good and yeah if you disagree u r just wrong bc yeah u are i'll fight you on this bc its a fact js lol bye bye.
I prefer books as it help in improving vocabulary. It also helps us improve our spoken english. It encourages people to know more about the author's various other books. It is unbreakable. It is much cheaper than e book. And obviously when it comes for sharing books or borrowing a book from a library u can't share or borrow e books.
Thus I will recommend and prefer books. By using this site, you agree to our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use. Google Search. Post Your Opinion. Create New Poll. Sign In Sign Up. Add a New Topic.
