\n
          I love reading; be it a paperback, hardcover or an e-book. In my opinion, it doesn’t matter what the form is. Only words matter. But, many people have their opinions that one is better than the other. Just as an analysis, I have made my points too. It’s not a differentiation. These are just the best points about each. As much as I love the feel of a physical book, I love the convenience of an e-book.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Here are my favourite segments relating to a physical book:<\/i><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1. Appealing:<\/u><\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
A paperback or a hardcover is so much attractive. It can be photographed or adored. It has this physical beauty which cannot be overlooked. It always feels lively to read.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
2. Bookshelf:<\/u><\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
Now, a physical bookshelf is much more amazing than an online one. You can arrange the books as you want, as per authors or colours. An abecedarian bookshelf is really very proper.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
3. Book Smell:<\/u><\/b><\/u1:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
It sounds silly, but the smell of new books is actually very addictive. It gives you the feeling of a library and cheers you to read. Book sniffing is very obsessive, as a matter of fact.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
4. Signed Copy:<\/u><\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
You can get a signed copy from the author only on a physical book. Isn’t it one of the major reasons to buy these? An author’s signature is like treasured gold for readers.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
5. Bookmarks:<\/u><\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
Every reader loves to own different kinds of bookmarks. There are so many types these days. I made some bookmarks<\/a> over the summer. And, it’s really fun to have a collection of cool bookmarks.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
6. Gift:<\/u><\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
Gifting a book is always the best idea. Especially when you have bookworm friends, it’s the best way to show your love. Also, physical books, though expensive, can be sold.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Here are my favourite segments relating to e-books:<\/i><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1. Storage:<\/u><\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
Kindle or other e-book readers have so much space that you can store many e-books. Because they are just in KBs, it’s suitable to store many e-books. <\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
2. Cheaper:<\/u><\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
The primary cost of purchasing Kindle is significant. But, the cost of e-books is much cheaper than the physical ones. Free e-books are also available online. You can also take advantage of Amazon discounts.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
3. Fast Downloads:<\/u><\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
This is one of the best things about reading online. If you finish reading one book in a series and can’t wait to read the next, then you can simply download it in a matter of minutes. Instead of going to a book store or ordering online, this is much <\/span>quicker.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
4. Light\/Portable:<\/u><\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
It’s a known fact that Kindles or tablets are much lighter than physical books. You can even carry them while travelling. That’s one important boon of technology.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
5. Day\/Night Feature:<\/u><\/b><\/u1:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
There are many features for e-books. You can use <\/span>white background and black words during the day. You can use <\/span>black background and white words during the night. There are also different patterns. You can also change the font face, size etc.<\/o:p><\/span><\/u1:p><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
6. Highlighting:<\/u><\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
You can bookmark a sentence or paragraph that you’ve liked easily. You can do it without spoiling the book. This is something I don’t do on physical books because one doesn’t just write in those.<\/span><\/div>\n
