How is your reading habit?
Do you prefer paper books, smartphones or tablets?
In this article, we compare the advantages and disadvantages of paper books and e-books.
Here are some reasons why we recommend reading e-books, especially on a Kindle.
(I read on both, but prefer Kindle!)
The merits of paper books
A tactile reading experience
Reading a paper book is a special experience that involves the physical sensation of touch.
For many book lovers, the feeling of picking up a book and turning the pages is invaluable.
If you love the feel of paper and turning pages, then paper books are perfect for you.
For example, when I'm relaxing at home, I choose a paper book.
It's especially easy to become immersed in the story when reading novels in a paper format.
In this way, paper books have a unique appeal in terms of touch and feel.
Value as a collection
Paper books also have value as physical collections.
Just having them lined up on your bookshelf gives you a sense of satisfaction and allows you to look at your favorite books.
Paper books can be enjoyed as interior decoration in and of themselves.
For example, I only kept my favorite novels and business books,
Looking back at it from time to time brings back memories and emotions.
In this way, paper books are also highly valuable as collections.
Why you should read on Kindle
You can read anytime, anywhere, making it easy to develop a reading habit.
With your Kindle, you can read anytime, anywhere.
You can read books during your commute or during any free time you have.
Unlike paper books, there is no need to carry around heavy books.
Being able to carry hundreds of books on your smartphone or tablet is a huge advantage.
For example, I read on my Kindle on the train during my commute.
If you want to read while holding it in one hand, use your smartphone.
When you want to read on a larger screen, use the iPad mini.
You can read comfortably in any situation.
In this way, Kindle makes it easy to read anywhere,
It will help you develop a reading habit.
By the way, a normal sized iPad is too big and heavy, making it difficult to read.
The iPad mini isn't too heavy and has a large screen.
I highly recommend it!
Notes and markers are easy to take
The Kindle makes it easy to take notes and highlight.
This allows you to quickly find important parts or sections you want to refer back to later.
With a paper book, you need to use a separate notebook or sticky notes to take notes,
With Kindle, all your notes and markers are managed in one place.
It will sync across all your devices.
For example, I often read business books for work and study.
With Kindle, you can easily highlight important points.
You can leave a note.
It's very convenient to be able to quickly find the information that is important to you when you look back at it later.
As you can see, the Kindle allows you to easily take notes and highlight, allowing you to organize and use information efficiently.
Save money on reading with Amazon Prime
If you have an Amazon Prime membership, you can read many books for free with Prime Reading.
This allows you to easily try new books,
It is also very cost effective.
For example, I am a member of Amazon Prime and use Prime Reading to read books that interest me for free.
You can also use Amazon Photo to store unlimited photos on your smartphone and share them with family and friends, which is very convenient.
By subscribing to Amazon Prime, you can enjoy a variety of benefits, including not only reading books but also streaming movies and music, storing photos, and more.
Conclusion
Paper books have their own charm,
The Kindle offers many advantages that fit modern lifestyles, such as portability and note-taking capabilities.
In particular, from the perspective of ease of forming a habit and cost performance,
I highly recommend reading on Kindle and using Amazon Prime!
