literature Physical book versus e-book?

[Bazinga!]

Do you prefer to read physical book? Or do you prefer to read an e-book on a tablet, e-reader, etc.?

eBook, only because the older I get, the harder is it to read fine print. I need to be able to make the words bigger

It is all about the moment for me. I am really a physical book person; there's nothing like curling up with a good book at home. But if I am going nowhere other than out and about, I would take an e-reader along. Very easy to pick and read, not to even mention space in my bag.

I like physical books, I grew up reading physical books, I like the smell and feel of new books. But I read ebooks more. In fact I have not read an entire physical book for more than 2 years. It is easier to read an ebook and I can carry a lot of ebooks with me.

I prefer reading ebooks as well. I like how accessible they are. I don’t have to go to the bookshelf to grab a book!

Yep. Of course, that means I have to get my steps in somewhere else

I do have a tablet with some e-books on it but I primarily use that when I travel because the tablet doesn't take up much room in my carry on.

I love to read physical books. There's something about flipping through the pages and touching the book physically. It kind of connects me directly to the book character and the storyline.

I also like to see my bookshelf well designed and arranged with books. That being said, it doesn't mean that I don't appreciate the convenience of ebooks. Yes I do, especially when traveling or commuting, it's less of a stress, all I have to do is download it on my device.

Accessibility is one of the major advantages that ebooks got over physical books. It is easy to find and read, and you can do this anywhere even if you are on a trip for a vacation.
