E-book readers are convient for storing a lot of books, changing font and easier to carrying around your library with you.

Some of E-reader are also water-proof but smell of new physical book is epic and havent been replicated yet until they added that it is a tough choice for me.

@jesusredeemedme2425 I love both!  It depends on the time of day, during the day I like physical books, at night I prefer e-books.

@jesusredeemedme2425 Physical! I used to like e-books, but, honestly, reading a physical book feels so much better! It reduces screen time and gives a sense of tangibility and presence. The feel of the paper, the smell of the pages, and even the sound of turning each page, all of this experience is wholesome that an e-book can't give.

I love physical books more, but I read both equally 🙃 I take my Kindle everywhere and typically read it during the day. Then in the evening, around 5-6pm, I switch to a physical book. I also find long books, 600+ pages, easier to read as physical books.

I do! It’s really the only thing that makes me happy lately. I’m on book #34 for the year. My goal is to read 80 books this year, and to read every day.

Honestly, while E-books help save paper and some websites allow people who aren't as privileged to have books, there is something different about having a physical book and feeling/turning the pages and using a book marker.

Technically speaking I use E-Books more since their physical copies are pretty hard to get but I’ll prefer physical books more cause they are easier to read under my seat during class and the feel to it is pretty good. d:
