Why Should I Read eBooks?

 Why Should I Read eBooks?

Nothing is better than printed books. Am I right? The smell, the texture, the grip and the sensation in reading printed books cannot be compared to reading an eBook. Will you think otherwise for a moment and consider why eBooks may be better than printed books?

I have always thought the greatest treasure I can inherit to my son will be a library. Recently my mind has changed. I am a booklover. I buy as many books as I can afford. I will continue to do so. Yet I now come to the realization of the advantages of reading soft copy books. No way? Please hold on, let me share my thoughts.

After shifting my place several times within a decade, I had to miss my bookshelf. I cannot carry all the books I purchased wherever I want. This gives me the thought, ‘Is it really a good idea to inherit printed books to my son?’ To inherit the skills, and the habit of reading will be much more valuable than the book itself.

We can cite some advantages of eBooks over printed books: they are cheaper, they have built-in dictionaries, instant purchase, no need for bookmarks, are environment friendly, can be customized, portable and many more points you can add. However, I am here not to explain those and convince you to read only eBooks. I simply want you to think differently from what most people say, “Printed books are the best.” And allow yourself to enjoy what seems to be inevitable. Like it or not, if you are a reader, the time is coming to read eBooks. If you don’t want to change and hold on to ‘only hard copy books’, it is totally fine. Who am I to judge you? But when the time comes for you to clean your bookshelf, shift your place and travel long distances, you may want to consider reading at least some eBooks.
