I'm a bookworm. And I own books + a kindle. But which is better? I love the smell of books, but a Kindle is less hassle to bring anywhere. Lemme know your thoughts 😁

Smell of book is great, really like it :) But Kindle (kind of) rule the world \o/

Physical. I also have a copy of almost all my books in e-version. But lately i prefer e-books because less hassle to bring anywhere as you say, some books just not available physically and some just not worth for paper copy. (edited)

Paper is to own it. If there's a book you really like and wish to reread, paper. If you want convenience, e-book.

Depends on where I’m going. If the physical book is safe, I bring it. If not, e-book all the way.

Second hand books... Love the smell but sometimes I do fear that they will fall apart on my watch because I'm not gentle enough with them.

I can't read e_books at all . You can listen to Audio books if it's hard to carry a book everywhere you go. E_books really hurt those poor eyes 🙂🌺

I'm also a book worm and I don't like kindle or digital books. Reading with books give an nostalgic feel in everytime. And I like books smell too.

I usually use an IPAD but you can never get same sense of satisfaction and achievement with E-Books which you can get when you finish a physical hard copy.

Personally a part of me loves hardcopy books because of the smell and the feel of owning and reading it, but kindle wins this one coz it's cheaper, sometimes easier to read at night with no lights on, also I don't need a lot of physical storage space. Also for me, I think it's kinda easier and faster to fall into reading an e-book than a physical one these days.

I find myself easily distracted so I have to actually read the book. Otherwise I'll have to rewind over and over.

For school, e-books are a godsend. Physical books weight so much, I had to go to a clinic once. Other than that, in general, physical for casual reading, digital for notes and so on (edited)

Idk why but I still like physical books better. The smell of the pages and the feeling when u flip the pages hits different from e-book! Also my eyee less hurting reading physical books I guese

Book are so nice but are quite expensive and sometimes I don't even reread them 😅 so they end up sadly collecting dust. However being able to smell new book and physically own it is my favourite. Kindle are too convenient to not have. I would definetly have all the novels I enjoy rereading at my finger tips as well as a few extra to chip away at

Personally when I am in a reading mood I love the feel of having a book in my hands. A lot of my friends who love reading swear by Kindles and e-books but it's harder for me to get into the stories. However if I have a real book I can read for hours.

Growing up i didn't have the luxury to purchase physical books so the Internet has always been the medium where i do most of my reading. i am E-Woke i do not believe in paper anymore. No i don't use toilet paper. But jokes aside paper is still used in developing countries as a means for storing information and conveying information lots of wood wasted that could potentially be used for a better purpose, but where there is demand there will be supply i guess. If i'm being optmistic about the future and there aren't anymore wars to be fought. One day paper will be a relic of the past maybe will only be used for artistic/historical reasons and most paper companies will merge or run out of business by that time.

I personally enjoy physical books. I guess I just like collecting books. Plus that feeling after you've finished a 1000+ page book ❤️

I'm old school and old... so I'd definitely choose books over a device. I love finding paperback or hardback books of a series I'm trying to collect and getting that rush of happiness when I find one.

E, because I know where to find free reading. Not saying their the best and it's all fiction but it's good enough for my brain that's always looking for new things.

What is your favorite author of all time and why? Mine is a mix between Toshikazu Kawaguchi and John Flanagan. John Flanagan’s Ranger’s Apprentice universe is what I grew up on.

A quick question...

Do you like re-reading your favourite books? I find that reading book again after a few years sometimes gives you an entirely new perspective on the content. And even if not it's nice to meet the heroes and visit the places again.

Yes, of course

Yes, but for entirely different reasons (which are?)

No, not really

Something else (what???)

Would anyone he be interested in being a beta reader for my high fantasy book?

Hey! I'm cooking up something, still in need of revision, but the story plot is done and I'm keeping the flow going. Would anyone be interested in reading the first 5 chapters? It isn't big. Feedback helps a lot. Anything, good or bad. That's how it works, right?

Movie adaptations

What book or book series do you believe was butchered as a movie adaptation, and deserves to be given a second chance, if they followed the story closer to what is in the book rather than doing their own thing

I spend my time searching for a single moment of sincere acceptance amidst millions of silent rejections. It feels like drowning in an ocean of disappointment, yet still hoping to breathe freely one day.

The last book you read?

I've been trying to limit using my phone and starting to grab books again. Finally got the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in English (Have read it only in Finnish before). What was the last book you read?
