I know what you are thinking, how's this possible? Don't you enjoy the smell of a new/old book? Feeling and flipping the pages?
Well, I started reading proper books back when I saw Twilight's trailer and I remember thinking "I need to read this." The first novel I read if my memory doesn't fail me. Before that I used to read a bunch of Jonas Brother's fanfics which of course were online. Anyways, I'm not used to physical books because pretty much all the books I've read they were always on my computer or an old tablet my family had laying around. I'm not going to lie, my eyes were tireeeeed. I had to stop from time to time or take naps in order to continue.
When I got my first job ever, I decided to stop playing around and got a Kindle. Best decision ever. I can't believe I used to think they were useless/not worth it because they were just for reading and "I could do that with my phone or a regular tablet instead of investing on a Kindle." I'm glad I've grown out of it.
The real question is: Why I prefer eBooks rather than Physical Books?
The most important reason: I can carry a bunch of books at the same time without losing a shoulder with my bag. Sometimes, you just don't feel like reading certain book but still want to read something other than your phone. Specially when you are 5'2 like me and struggling to carry anything but your own weight.
Don't get me wrong I love physical books... as decor (I know, I know, I'm sorry). I'm a sucker for cute covers. I'd love to have a huge bookshelf one day with all the books I've read in my living-room. I feel like if someone visits me they would be great conversation starters plus I love giving recommendations. I got a few so far, I've bought some physical books, I'm not a complete monster hahaha. Luckily back then and now, technology has been kind enough to bless me with eBooks so I can't complain.
I wish I were more into physical books? Of course, I love the old school feeling to it but right now my Kindle is my best friend. What about you, do you prefer eBooks as me? or Do you prefer Physical Books? If you have time, tell me why. ☺
