Ebooks


The e-reader. One of the most discussed things on the bookish corner of the internet. Is it pure evil or is it our future? I don't know. 


For my birthday two years ago, I asked for an ereader. I was so sure this would be the perfect gift for me and then, I was lucky enough to receive one from my parents, and that is how I got my kobo glo. I was so happy! (and then it broke about a year later).

But I'm not talking about my ereader in particular, but more the concept of them in general. You don't get the same satisfying feeling and you can't laze around Harley Quinn style but it is actually pretty convenient when you're in another country where you can't find books of your native language.


(This is Harley Quinn style above, if you were wondering).

Another good thing is that you can hold it in one hand if you need to eat some cookies or something, or if you're bored of the silence and need to turn on Hamilton or Twenty One Pilots on spotify.


Also, sometimes you are lying down in a comfortable position but you can't turn the page from that angle. Then what do you do? You have to sit up... But with an ereader you just touch the page, a small flick of the finger! 



One of the things people usually don't like about a digital reading device (see how I restrained my self from saying 'Ereader' again?), is that it's hard to see the page but this is actually better for your eyes and you can see it, just not broad daylight. I love how they are available to you almost anywhere in the world. I also love how you can read as soon as you buy them whereas if you bought a book online you would have to wait for it to be delivered. 

 
(so I literally just noticed this is Cyrus from Gossip Girl in the above picture. Omg)

With this you have more access the books in, I think it's called, the public domain, with means you download FREE ebooks, instantly. 

That's my little chatty post, but I think it doesn't matter what you prefer because there is no correct path in life!


I really want to hear what you think about this topic so please please comment below. 

Byeeee!!

  1. I think ereaders and ebooks are absolutely cool. Some people have said they don't count as books but I disagree. They are very portable and easy awesome. Nice post! I love the design of the first image. :)

    1. Thank you! I think they do because you can still read what's inside. Ebooks are also cheaper.

  2. I love both e-readers and real books - I have an e-reader myself and I love using it! Getting books is so much quicker/cheaper, and it's easier to carry around than a bunch of real books. :)
