Key Points
n
n
nThere’s something about a beautiful hardback book…
n
n
n
Large format “coffee table” books are especially wonderful to own, with their thick paper and amazing photographs or artwork. |
n
n
n
n…and there’s something about a paperback book…
n
Paperback books are inexpensive; they’re easy to swap with friends and are cheap enough that you can take them to the beach or pool without worrying about ruining an electronic device. |
n
n
n
n…but eBooks are super great, too! Here’s why:
n
n
n
n
n
- n
- You can more easily read them in dark settings without disturbing others. Watching TV together as a family, reading in bed, reading on a plane when the lights are down and most folks are sleeping – the gentle glow of an e-Reader screen is much easier for the reader AND less disturbing to others than are most other lighting situations (lamps, flashlights, etc.).
n
n
- n
- You can get books from many more authors who haven’t been able to convince a publisher to put LOADS of money into printing and marketing their books.
n
n
- n
- You can get older books that are hard to find even in online stores – including some books that are out of print and WAY expensive in said online stores.
n
n
n
- n
- You can get books very quickly downloaded rather than taking the time to go to a library or bookstore, or waiting for a delivery!
n
n
n
- n
- You can easily carry 10 or more books downloaded onto one lightweight e-reader or large-format phone!
