eReader: (Kindle Fire HD)
What I like:
- They are extremely portable. I slip it into my school bag in the morning and I am off!
- I don't have to worry about bending the pages. Believe it or not it is my biggest pet peeve with books. Especially bent covers.
- I can read in the dark! I share a room with my sister, who hates when I keep the light on into the later hours of the night to read. This keeps up both happy and not at each others throats
- Free or discounted books! Amazon has free books, as well as discounted books. That means more for your money!
- I can lay down and read in awkward positions!
What I dislike:
- Having to charge it! You don't have to do that with books!
- It is fragile. I am constantly worried of breaking it. I dropped it in my drive way the other day. (I will shamelessly admit I tripped over my own feet....again)
- It dies unexpectedly. Long car trips? Ughh! It ends up dying and leaves me bored out of my mind.
- Glares. At the beach or in class light reflects off the screen making it hard to focus on the actually words.
Books:
What I like:
- The smell. Call it weird but I find it relaxing. Especially after a long stressful day? Perfect.
- Sometimes they have different colored font! (Ex. Legend by Marie Lu)
- Hard covers have the book jacket that comes off!
- Physically collection to show off.
- I can read it on long car rides and not worry about the battery life!
- Doesn't need to be charged!
What I dislike:
- Paper cuts! I done it tons of times!
- Pages bend or covers rip ... or you can rip a page out (I did that to a library book and accident once.)
- You can't read in the dark! There for me and my sister fight and makes me shut the light off.
- Can't lay down and read in certain positions.
- Font can sometimes be too small
Both have the plus and minuses. Somethings will beat the others. Sometimes my mood ends up effecting what I want to read on as well. It will sadden me the day all books are only available on eReaders. My book collection is something I take much pride in!
