You can say that again! Ebooks are great, but if you ask me to choose, I prefer physical books.

I love how efficient and convenient e-Books are. But sometimes I got sick of it and prefer the physical sensations of a physical book brings.

Does anyone else do this or would you try it?
I must say that is true. I look ebooks for that.

I still prefer hardcopy books but reading a book at night is an advantage of having a kindle

I only see advantages. They do not take space at home or in the handbag/backpack. When I have to take the train I always carry with me the Kindle if the journey is longer than half an hour. I would not do the same if it was a hard copy because of the weight and the space. If it is a book with a lot of pages it is easier to handle an ebook reader. Books are also cheaper in digital copies. I can enlarge or change the type of font. I can finish one book and start another without leaving the train or as I have dozens on my Kindle. Did I miss any advantage? oh yes! The light!

I personally prefer actual books to e-books for many reasons, such as e-books hurt your eyes after a while and it's just not as fun to hold a tablet as it is to hold a book, but I guess it does make it easier to read at night. I think I will try it sometime. I love reading, so why not!?
Reading an ebook where the is no power is definitely an advantage over hardcopy books. But just like you, still prefer the real deal,that is hardcopy

There are various reasons to choose e-books. For example, they are stored electronically, allowing you to carry an entire library of books on a single device! This convenience is especially valuable for travelers or people who are always on the go.
With e-books, you can instantly download and start reading a book without having to wait for it to be shipped or visit a bookstore. This is particularly beneficial for those like me. :mrgreen:
Plus, an e-book can be easily shared with friends and family. It's great.
It offers a wide range of genres, including self-published works and books that may be out of print in physical form. So, this allows readers to explore more and more books.

Hello! Discovering new reasons to love e-books is always exciting. Reading them outside at night is indeed a great advantage, and it adds a touch of magic to the reading experience. The soft glow of your device's screen can create a cozy and immersive atmosphere, allowing you to enjoy your favorite stories under the open sky.

Whether it's on a balcony, in a garden, or simply lounging under the stars, reading e-books outside at night offers a unique blend of technology and nature. The convenience of not needing an external light source and the ability to adjust text size and brightness according to your comfort can make nighttime reading even more enjoyable.

Another reason I love ebooks so much is that they don't take up too much space on my phone

I can't light up my room at night, so it is a great advantage that I can read it in dark. One of the best features ever.
