For the past years, book lovers have been faced with the choice of purchasing an e-book or a paperback book. Each book form has its own pros and cons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, I believe that with our world becoming more technologically advanced paperback books will still lead for years to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Personally, I prefer paperback books and probably always will. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The smell, and the ability to search for a book in a bookstore and run my fingers through the pages is my favorite part of purchasing a book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While reading a book and seeing a relatable quote or great piece of advice, I like to underline, highlight or stick a post-it note right next to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With e-books you can do something very similar, but for those who like to make asterix marks or doodles on pages, you can\u2019t exactly do that with an e-book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For those who favor e-books or electronic forms of reading, books also have many advantages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The biggest advantage is probably the storage space you\u2019re going to save yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although you might save physical space, you have to constantly keep charging the device and make sure it lasts throughout your day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A regular book doesn\u2019t need to be electronically charged, therefore it\u2019s accessible to you at any time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luckily, I have friends who enjoy reading books and we casually exchange books to save each other from having to purchase it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With an e-book you can\u2019t exactly loan someone your device for days and weeks on end. In forms of trading with an e-book, that is also impossible when it comes to donating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I didn\u2019t find a book to be interesting or as meaningful to me, I like to donate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have an e-book you can\u2019t donate it and ultimately, you\u2019re stuck with it. So why do people still prefer e-books or reading devices? Is it the embarrassment of showing off that you\u2019re actually reading, or to be trendy with a technology device? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Personally, after I finish a book I like to store it on my shelf and show off the collection of books at the front of my room. I treasure the books I have and genuinely enjoy reading them and putting them up as if they\u2019re trophies on a shelf.
