Re: Ebook or paper book?
I was always adamant that I hated e-readers and that nothing could beat paper books. Whilst I still agree with that sentiment, it just isn't realistic for me to lug a large amount of books to University and store them. I can't stand the thought of giving away my books, I love my collection and want to have a big library when I (eventually) get my first house.
So, I eventually caved and got a Kindle with a Kindle-Unlimited subscription. To be honest, I'm loving it! It allows me to read more on the go, between lectures and I love having an extensive library of books readily available to flick between genres when I want something different.
However, paper books, I will always, always love you....

1. E-books are handy. If you don't have a big space or say, maybe you are sharing your current living space with someone else, storing books in your phone or tablet is the next best thing.
2. E-books still promote reading. And I think that is the main point of all of this. As long as it gets people reading, why would anyone care if a book is physical or digital?
Stop raining on someone else's parade and respect each other's preferences. Not everyone has the privilege to live in big houses or own huge bookshelves. And I think digital copies are less expensive, right?

No need to recharge batteries or find a power point.
Paper books are very portable, easy to carry & the font is easy to read.

Totally agree!! I love just picking up my kindle and going with multiple books at time.Andi73 wrote: ↑24 Feb 2013, 21:16 I love having a good book in my hands & so agree with a bookshelf full of fantastic books. But I also have an ereader - it certainly makes life a lot easier when I'm travelling or out & about. It's also opened up a whole new world of books I never would of spotted in a convential bookstore. So both have positives for me.
