Physical book vs ebook

This is a question that can be a little hard for some people to make. Some like the feel of a physical book in their hands, the feel of the paper pages between their fingers and the alluring scent of paper and ink. There is something soothing about that scent that I just can't explain. Others prefer the convenience of an ebook to read whether they are on the go, for the space saving factor, or just for their personal preference. For me, I like the physical book when I'm reading. I'm old fashioned that way.

Now, there are pros and cons to both, but many still choose the physical book. For me, I find that I have sold more physical books than I have sold ebooks. Each and every person has their reasons for their choice of book, and looking around online, you'll quickly find that this is a surprisingly devise topic. Those that love ebooks are all in on them, and those that don't like them, really don't like them. Up until a year ago, I never really gave ebooks the proper amount of consideration. But I find that I like ebooks in certain circumstances, like when I get free ebooks with a purchase of another. (Free is always a good thing.)

First off, they're cheaper. This one is pretty self explanatory if you're on a budget. Second, you can carry a massive library of books with you no matter where you go, and not need to reserve a lot of space. If you are traveling, then ebooks are going to be the go to. Now, that isn't to say that you can't take a physical book with you while traveling either. But you can take more ebooks than you can physical books.

No matter which one you choose to go with, the stories that they depict are always going to be an escape from everyday stressors. The worlds that they create suck you in, and really, that's one of the best things about books.
