MY BOOK PREFERENCE

In this generation that we are, technology is clearly taking over. There is actually a 50% chance that everyone in this generation has been forced to use ebooks. Personally, I feel ebooks and paperback book have their own advantages and disadvantages.

But for me, I have gotten so used to ebooks, that I am getting to love to read on ebook. Many people might find it so hard to read on ebooks because of distraction from social media and their phone apps. But when you get to get over the distraction of internet, you will find that ebooks is actually nice. (But not always nice).

I started getting used to ebook when I wanted to write an examination about two years ago, most books they sent and recommended was on pdf and all. It was very hard for me at first, because I can’t literally stay focus like for straight 20 minutes without getting distracted from social media.

It was really annoying for me, I was like “seriously, this is torture”, but then when I know that I have no choice but to caution myself, after I actually got rid of distractions from phone. I can actually go for straight one hour without getting distracted.

I tend to get used to ebooks more because most things I read are on my phones.

I am trying to give myself a break from reading on screen, because it affects the eye, it causes irritation and ache to the eye and I don’t want to get an eye problem, lol. So, I tend to switch my reading to paperbacks books, that literally means I use both of them together.

I love using paperback books too, but in most cases I love using them when I feel motivated or when I am so energetic. I tend to get bored while reading on paperback books especially when the topic or whatever I am reading is not something so interesting.

I love to read paperback books in the night. It is actually good for my eyes in the night because I don’t have to stare at bright light. If I am to read ebooks at night, my eyes really suffer a lot because the light rays are just going directly and it is really gives me an irritation, redness, eye pain and sometimes headache. Most times I tend to sleep.

So, paperback books is actually good for night reading or it is even healthy good for reading in general. But more reasons why I use ebooks except from the fact that most things I read are on pdf and most things I do are on internet, it is because it is more portable.

I mean, I can literally carry my phone around and read anyway I feel comfortable at, but for paperback books I really can’t just carry them around. I feel like most of us are attached to our phone and it is literally easy for us to want to read. You might just be sitting somewhere and be like ‘oh, let me read’.

I’ll mostly say that my reading preferences depends on my mood and what I am about to read. If I am to read a novel, I am surely going for a hardcopy and not soft-copy, I feel really comfortable reading novels or stories on paperbacks books.

Well, as we all have different perspective let me know what you prefer in the comment section.
