The debate of ebooks and books has started ever since reading devices such as the Nook and Kindle came out. It is very important, as it decides your own style of reading. Now, here are some thoughts over them.
Ebooks
Ebooks are ecological because they save trees. They also save a lot of space, and it is perfect for a traveler to take on journeys and far-off places. Moreover, ebooks are cheaper and they save you to a long trip to a bookstore. An advantage is that you can see dictionary definitions right there on your ebook. This way you can completely understand your book with no unnecessary difficulties. However, ebooks certainly lack the idea of a book right in your hands. You don't feel the special weight which makes a book a book. Nevertheless, they are very light and comfortable to hold.
Real Books
Even though real books are more expensive and take up space, they give you a classic feeling. With vivid illustrations and the ability to share it with your friends, I prefer a printed book over an ebook. If you are creative, you can make decorative bookmarks for your book. And if you are social, you can share it with people you care for a lot. Additionally, you have the ability to turn your book pages freshly and enjoy the scent of a new book. On the other hand, they are not very ecologically friendly and they do take up a lot of space.
Although I prefer books over ebooks, ebooks are perfect if you travel very often. However, keep in mind that there is nothing better than reading a real book while sipping a cup of warm hot chocolate.
