The ever difficult question for a book worm Books or Kindle?
Every reader knows the feeling of holding a hard bound paper book and smelling the freshly printed paper is just out of this world. No electronic device can ever make you feel that close or connected to a book. Regardless of this, many readers have been going crazy about Kindle. It is an easy and convenient way to get the book you wish to read on just one click. Kindle is the more practical option, without a doubt, but it’s not always about being practical, am I right?
A lot of people who still want the feeling of a book are having trouble shifting to Kindle. So we at AAW decided to see the best of both worlds and see the advantages of having both ways in your life.
Let’s first talk about books. We obviously have the touch, smell and feel of the book. With this let’s look at some practical factors. Even though the battery life of Kindle is quite a lot, but after a while you have to charge it and pack its essentials. On the other hand books obviously do not require a charger. Books become the perfect gift and can be easy borrowed. You don’t need to go through a lot of trouble with books. Also since books are not as expensive as a Kindle, you don’t need to worry about damaging or losing it.
Now let’s talk about the recent invention, Kindle. It is definitely lighter as compared to a pile of books. It also occupies less space in your carry on. Another advantage is that you can read whatever you and anywhere you want. You can have your own privacy setting. No more hiding the book cover in public to avoid embarrassing or controversial arguments.
Anything said or done, avid readers will agree with us that there is nothing like holding a book. Maybe if there is no more storage in one’s house, then he/she might think of buying a Kindle. Otherwise we love the feel, touch, look and smell of a book.
So in the end even if we have new technologies being invented, there are a few things that we all like in the traditional way.
