My Favorite Way to Read (Kindle vs Paper)

[@FaizAly]

Very interesting point about liking the damage. I agree - it does make it unique. Great point!

Thanks, yea it’s just a nice little way to see something imperfect in a different light

With an ebook (Kindle) you can download and install different fonts to make you book different than what is installed by default! Love that feature!!!

I think it’s the default, but I’m a personal fan of Amazon Ember size 4 🤓

I have plenty of physical books, but since getting an ereader, I have mainly read ebooks. With few exceptions, I do not agree with anything you said about the superiority of physical books. I did buy and read one physical book this year, The Last Hero by Terry Pratchett, because it wasn't available as an ebook, and it was part of a series I was reading. In this one instance, the book worked better, because it had lots of color illustrations. But mostly I prefer ebooks, and I do not fetishize the experience of reading physical books. I like how an ereader gives me more control over the format of a book, how ereaders are more ergonomic than physical books, and how using an ereader leads me to discover books I wouldn't discover in a bookstore. While I will use my Kindle in the bath, I do not take it into the shower.

Might just be a me thing, I really like the feel of hardcover books personally 🤓 but definitely find that I’ve read a lot more since getting a kindle, I recommend one to anyone that reads a lot

I do have 2 hole shelving g units of physical books. But I'm slowly purchasing all kf them books on my kobo. An ereader is a must have gadget for me as I'm severely sight impaired, as this means I can make the font size of the book bigger without having to use some sort of magnifier

[@frankmsimon]

That’s super wholesome actually, didn’t even think about the added accessibility for visual impairment, really glad to hear this and that you’re able to continue enjoying your books!

I strongly Vouch for Kindle. See I bought my first ever kindle on 9th Feb this 2022 and have downloaded books to it even of those of which I already have a physical copy. However reading on kindle, the actual reading experience on kindle is far far better than Physical books. However if you still ask me to vote, I will still be biased towards the physical books. The other thing, you are absolutely correct about is, since I have my kindle it is helping me to actually sleep so so so much better. This really help to get a very calm and good night's sleep just like a baby after you tell them stories. Reading on Kindle have taken away all the resistance I usually had and I am surprised by myself when I today read Book 1 along with 5 chapters of Book 2 of the epic Novel Anna Karenina by Tolstoy within 4 days. For me that was way too fast as compared to physical books. It's first time I have already completed 6 books this month. If anyone likes to read, I strongly suggest you to try kindle, it will definitely change the game for you by a lot margin.
