When I talk about books, I have a vision of a library where I spent time in my childhood. The smell of old covers attracted me and I was walking between shelves, touching books. The covers fascinated me and the blurb was important to pull my attention.
Nowadays, e-books are a popular tool to read. Life goes fast, people have daily obligations and classical books are not so practical to fill your time. If you wish to read, you can pick an e-book in the Kindle application to read on your phone. My books are available on Amazon.
If you pick an e-book, these are the advantages:
You will read it from your mobile application.
An e-book is not something you can forget, it is placed on your phone.
Pages are going fast, with one touch of a finger, so you don't need paper and pencil to mark them.
An e-book is an exceptional tool when you don't want to be disturbed while you are traveling.
While you can't bring 10 books in your purse, you can have a hundred books in your phone, to pick any of it when you want, to read a few at the same time.
You can zoom in and increase your letter fond, to read in a bigger format. It is not possible on a book from the library, if you have a problem with sight, small letters will reject your desire to read.
Paper books can be full of dust, and old editions could be in lack pages ( I had that experience in libraries). In a digital format, you have a nice, new book, placed on your phone.
If you don't like to read, if this is not your hobby, maybe e-books can attract your attention. Indie authors publish their books in electronic form, and they are cheap.
While you will pay 10, 20, or 50 dollars for paper books, e-books are cheap. You can buy an e-book with one click for a price of 1.99, 0.99, or 3.40 dollars and save your money. Also, on Amazon are a lot of free books, available for readers.
