If somebody asked me what do I prefer a book or an ereader I would ansvered imediately paper is paper, a few months ego.
Many people around me are still at the same meaning what I said. For example not only my wife but also my son has been very good reader. They have read so many books since they learned to read. Many my friends who are in the same age or older as me are still interesting in paper and also have been reading many books. What about me? I read some books what I could count on my fingers of my hand.
We have many kinds of books and their weight is different. Someones are thick and someones are thin and I don’t want to tell about its height. I remember when our school gave us too many books for studying and we had to carry it to the school every day on our bag. We can say the new books smell very nice but could we say it about the older books? As I know they smell as bad as it gets and what about their dirty pages. If I borrowed a book in a library I was very suprised what I found on the pages. Maybe some readers could read only if they have a breakfest. Letters are only big for kids I mean at fairy tale and then books have only small letters. I remember to my grandmother. If somebody of our family bought to her a book she said very sadly “thank you very much but the letters are too small for my eyes”. How many books are writen with biger letters then as usully for elderly people?
But everything has changed. I have bought an ereader.
I am very happy because not only light but also thin it is. I can put it to my pocket. I can change the size letters for elderly people. Many, many and so many books I have in the ereader. Not only PDF but also microsoft word I have there from my work what I have to study because of my boss. He wants to have a smart subordinates. Now I can read and study every where on holliday, at work, at home, on train ect. and every time when I can or I am free. So I can choose which kind of book I need to read that time.
I have found only one disadvantage I can not quickly flip the pages. It means if you want to study law there is very difficult to quickly look up some paragraphs. There I can say paper is paper.
I have been reading many books since I bought the ereader.
