OrDo ask yourself now, which would you prefer E-Books or Real Books? And Why?
If you chose E-books, could it be you preferred it better because it's more modern? More edgy? and Portable?
And if you chose real books, why?
Nowadays bookstores are struggling to sell their books. They're giving off discounts, free books and good deals, this is what is happening now in London. Since the the mini tablets that performs the same as computers, they offer an application for electronic books. Books that you can read either online or with the use of downloading it first. Sure, it's a nice treat to have many books just on the palm of your hand but have we lost the idea on which we started love reading from?
Books and yes, REAL books. Books with papers in them, with every single letter printed in ink. Books that comes in paperbacks or hardcovers. It is from books that we actually gain our interest in reading and also where our imagination starts to go wild with every story you read.
Yes it's true that e-books and real books contains the similar contents of a book. I'm leaving all that to your judgement, but...
In my opinion, real books are better. Do we rely so much on technologies nowadays that it has changed our perspectives upon books? Before there were the mini tablets, the internet and heck, even the computer, our fingers has brushed pages of books of different kinds, the story books, dictionaries, encyclopedias.
The way I like my book is that when i turn each page of a book i choose, it'll make my imagination leap and wonder how the story is going to continue.
The sound of flipping pages, the hug that you give the book after you finished reading it and you loved it, even the smell of the book itself, the smell that shows it might be old or a freshly published book. Sometimes I would sniff the book I'm reading and trust me, i'm not the only one who does that.
What a libraries built for? Keeping books. Yes, it's true. Isn't it weird to find a library that has mini tablets on the shelves instead of binded books of every story and shades of colour. But if you'll like to stick with technology, i'm not blaming, it's always your choice anyway, but remember where all the e-books stories have once came from =DBy the way, i'm currently waiting for my copy of J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan book to arrive. Quite a children's . book, but i'm just young at heart. Tata now~ bye~ =)
