Thank you. I've been trying to decide whether or not I should buy a e reader. This comment helped me make my decision. I also like physical books if they look cool but honestly that is the only reason I like them. I'm getting the e-reader as soon as I get my next check
@@ricardocastro3201 Ebooks are really just 0s and 1s on file storing device. And you just said that you don't own an ebook after buying it, so if buying isn't owning pirating isn't stealing.
you don't really own a book you buy either, or you would be allowed to reprint and share it, but the warning against that written inside the cover is practically the same as drm
I prefer eBooks myself. Everyone is different but I like the ease of use, perfect font, perfect light at all times, etc. Plus, I can borrow eBooks without leaving my living room. All good.
I prefer the e books because I’m dyslexic and it’s easier for me for the book to be red out to me while following it gets me excited about reading which I always did because I just can’t do physical books 😊
🤔 im not sure which way to go here. Physical books can be checked out from the library for free but they are bulky and heavy and my limit is only 2. The e reader is small and light. I can store hundreds of books but the ereader is kinda expensive. I dont care about building a library in my home.
I was able to blast thru two large books in a month due to switching between physical book at home and the epub on my phone on my way to and from work on the bus
I've read over 3000 books in my 64 years on this planet and only one of them was an ebook. Never again. They suck and I've never heard any convincing arguments otherwise
Well, to each their own. I love reading too and I've read plenty of physical books in my day, and there's nothing like the smell of an old book. That being said, I prefer ebooks for a few reasons. A physical book can often be unwieldy, hard to read while lying down, and too heavy to lug around. I also tend to get discouraged if the book is a bit of a slog, especially with small type and long chapters. With an ebook, I can break them up easier, easily stop between pages instead of the middle of a long page, and adjust the font size to my liking. Ebooks also take up no space on my already cramped bookshelf. That's some reasons why I personally prefer ebooks and they've allowed me to read far more books than I would have otherwise. But I can also appreciate the arguments for why people wouldn't like them.
Hi, Do you download the ebooks for free or do you buy them? What’s the best way to read them? Should we buy the kindle device? Reading on laptop is not comfortable for one’s eyes. I’m looking for an old book called “Mommie Dearest” by Christina Crawford. I don’t know how to download it for free. Some people say any book can be downloaded. The book can only be purchased. The cost is high with the shipping. That’s why I’m hesitant to buy it.
e readers absolutely suck! heck that applies to the entire current literary world as well! full of secondhand illiteracy and the fast myopic people that think a 50 page commercial fiction ebook is a quality novel. harold bloom would be rolling in his grave
I mean, you can read classics, and even Harold Bloom's own books on an ereader. I think it comes down more to literary taste rather than book format. Technically you could have someone hand write Shakespeare onto a bunch of sticky notes and it would still be Shakespeare.
Ebooks make absolute logical sense, but I prefer paper books.

You don't really own an ebook, you just bought a license to read them
You pay for ebooks?
@@brunocristiano362 yes, why I wouldn't pay for a book?

@@basil7292 Eh, not exactly
I read physical books by day and E readers at night. Somehow that combinations keeps me most relaxed and focused.

I personally prefer ebooks for longer wordy books as I can increase font size

Wise recommendations made, well put together as a whole. Bravo !
Technical content: physical
Fiction content: ebooks
Great list of eBooks! Immersive Translate, a web plugin, makes enjoying these titles in different languages so simple.

Use both of them
