Kindle VS Real Books

That e-reader looks kind of wonky





My mom and I have had this debate since the first kindle came out, is an e-reader better than an actual book? And so the debate continues.

Books
·         Nice to hold something physical in your hand and curl up with it.
·         I like seeing the cover at all times. I also enjoy reading the acknowledgments periodically.
·         I love bookmarks. How would a virtual bookmark satisfy my urge to mark a book?
·         Financially more responsible for me. I go through books like high school girls go through emotions. The library is my safe haven and the reason I’m not broke.
·         Mainly the financial reason is why I go for books right now.
·         I often like to browse titles and I like to physically pick them up and read the back covers.

E-Book Reader
·         This is just laziness on my part but I like to read in bed at night and I need the light on. If I had an e-book reader, then I could just read off the backlight.
·         They’re kind of cool.
·         Easier to take books with me on the go, instead of my whole bag being full of books. Not like that’s a bad thing.
·         It might be easier to use when I’m working out.
·         Libraries are awesome and now offer e-books to check out.

Overall I am a total book nerd and just want to read all the books I can. It would be kind of nice to have seven books all ready to read at the touch of a button. I should probably get a job first before I drop money on an e-reader.
