Mini Blog: eBooks vs. Paper? Let the Battle Commence!

Ebooks have been out in the tech-o-sphere or sometime now. With the Amazon Kindle and several other competitors like the Nook on the market, they are becoming more and more popular.

Here are some of the good points of each...



EBOOKS:

  • Very portable
  • You can take hundreds at a time
  • They cost less than the actual book, most of the time
  • You can back them up on your computer
  • There are hundreds and thousands of free books available.
PAPER BOOKS:
  • They are real, physical media
  • You can hold them
  • They are not digital
  • They smell like books (unlike eBooks)
  • They look nice on an organized book-shelf.
What do you think? Do you even read books? Maybe not. I love reading, but I have to say that I'm moving more towards the eBook for the points listed above.
