Welcome to Mya Robarts, author of The V Girl, a YA dystopian romance.
E-book vs.
Print Books
by Mya Robarts
Hello! I’m Mya Robarts and today, I wanted to share
with you my opinion about a dilemma that
every bookaholic faces once in a while. It’s the never ending debate of e-books
vs. print books.
Some believe that e-readers are going to dominate the reading world. A more conservative group of people think
that the traditional book will remain the favorite choice among a huge portion
of book lovers.
As recently, as four years ago, I was an enthusiast of the
latter. I used to believe that a book, to be “real”, had to come to life in
print form. The flipping of pages, the
smell, and the texture were all irreplaceable for me and a huge part of what my
reading experience has to include. Who doesn’t love to take a look at shelves full
of books?
Eventually, I discovered the advantages of e-readers. They
are portable, you can get more books, pay less money, and you can read covertly when you’re supposed to do something else, let’s say a
boring lecture. E-books have advantages
that I never thought I’d enjoy since I was so reluctant to change the way I
have always read.
You are not less of a book lover if you prefer eBooks
over print books. I saw a video in which
Kat O’Keeffe from Katytastic admits she prefers e-books. Kat
owns the most beautiful shelves I’ve ever seen, and even so, she prefers e-books.
Plenty of booklovers , who have a kind of physical impediment prefer e-ooks, too.
And carrying a thousand books with you wherever you go has its advantages.
Why not combine the two? I read the books that I think won’t
be among my favorites in electronic format. When my favorite authors have a new
release, I end up buying the same book twice. I order the eBook the day of
release and even so, I order the print version.
As a book addict who enjoys her addiction, I’ll always
want more books in whatever format I can get them, whether electronic, audio, paperback,
hardcover, etc. I want them all.
A great book will always be great not matter what
format meets our eyes. And whether your book collection is nicely stacked on
shelves or available to you with just a few clicks on your e-reader, the very
fact that we have options to choose from is something to be grateful for. It
means more reading opportunities to discover our next favorite reading.
