Today I feel exhausted so I am brining back my first battle. I didn’t have any followerd back then so I didn’t get answers.
I am sure we all love paperpacks and I am also sure that we know how to appreciate an e-book. But which one is better and which one do you prefer?
Paperpacks are precious and irreplacable and we all know that paper can be everlasting in addition to e-books which is just data that can be lost anytime soon. Getting to hold a book in your hand and be able to smell it and feel it, can give happiness to many people. How can we compare that feeling to any other in the world, right?
Paperpacks can be so pretty and notable collectibles for your amazing bookshelf. I am so proud everytime I walk inside my room and I see my selves; especially the ones where I put my hardcovers.

E-books on the other hand, are the solution to many problems and obviously they are the future. I know paperpacks will be here forever but e-books are just easier. You can have hundreds of book in your pocket and you can choose to read them whenever and wherever you want.
Of course, e-books are always easier to be bought because they’re cheaper and can be sent to your kindle immediatelly.
You can read in the dark by adjusting the brightness and you can keep track of your progress without worrying about missing the page. You can keep notes and highlight text without actually ruining the book and you can always delete them.
E-books can come in handy for everyone but wouldn’t you prefer a book? Maybe both? Maybe you’re a kindle fan and I don’t blame you.
What do you think about both? Let me knooooow~

Such a hard choice, because I love both so much! If I see a really good deal on a kindle book I want to read, then I’ll buy the e-book version. If the paperback is cheaper than e-book, then I obviously buy the paperback. I do love physical copies of books, but I love that e-books are so much more convenient and you can take all your books with you! Also, if it’s a book that I do want to read, but don’t see myself spending that extra money for the physically copy then I get an e-book of it. Or if it’s a book cover I don’t necessarily love, I’ll get an e-book. LOL.
We’re on the same page because I have the exact way of thinking. It depends my mood, my money and the book! Thank you Ashley! 😀
I love getting new paperbacks. I say I like paperbacks better!!!
Who doesn’t? Hahaha I totally understand! 🙂 Thank you!
Nice topic! I certainly agree to all these.Physical books are nice to look at in our “book museum” but ebooks are just convenient when you travel. I think there’s a pro and con to each option 😀
Yeah exactly. I wish I could have both for every single book. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
I don’t like e-books, so paperbacks for sure! I find e-books hard to read and I actually read slower than when I read paper- or hardbacks! Plus I just like the feel of a real book in my hand, the smell, the way it looks on my shelf…
I totally understand what you mean and I agree~ 🙂 Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
I totally agree with you. I have nothing to add. 😊
Oh so you’re like me! I prefer paperpacks but I deal well with ebooks as well~ Thank you honey!
I think I like them both the same, both have advantages. I read more e books, mainly because I get review copies that way. But I also love to have my shelf of paperbacks.

Thanks for sharing your thoughs Amanda. Yeah I agree. I also buy e-books because they’re mostly cheaper than paperpacks.
I mostly eRead myself. It’s just much more convenient and cheaper for me to do that as a student.
I also find real books can be hard to hold sometimes with my smaller hands 😛
Yup I am the same. I’m broke so no money for often paperpack shoping. Thank you! 🙂
I think both formats have it’s own advantages. Most of my books are in ebook format because they are cheaper (so we can buy as many as we like), easier to carry ground and great for reading at nights. 😀
I totally agree with you Raven! Thank you so much!
Ah, the choice between e-books and paperbacks! One of the hardest choices to make. I love them both. These days, I tend to buy physical books of those that I know I love and will love and those that I get on kindle may be books that I may or may not. Im scared that e-books will replace physical books but I hope that doesn’t happen in my life time. As much as I love the portability and arrant ages and cheapness of e-books, my paperbacks (and hardbacks) are my babies.
xoxo 💋 Great post!
Kindle is like a tester for books! I hope so too. I live physical books ao much! Thank you Josie! ♡
Yes, thats exactly how I see it! 😀
You’re welcome. xoxo
I read both. But prefer paperbacks as I love book covers and they are lost on ebooks. It’s great to have an instant read which ebooks give you but frustrating on short plane flights where you have to switch off devices for ascent and descent. Once I emersed in a book though, it doesn’t really matter what format it is.
You’re right! At the end it doesn’t really matter! Thank you Sue!
