Paper book...

The "Classic" Paper Book.

Paper books offer multiple advantages:
  • They're easily obtainable (Bookstores are everywhere).
  • They're easily portable.
  • They don't normally cause significant eye-strain.
  • They're cheap.
Okay, that much was obvious. Specifically, some types of content paper books are better for are:
  • Textbooks (or any books which are generally large-format).
  • Picture / Photo books.
Another factor to bear in mind is that paper books don't need power to function. They can be read anywhere with sufficient light, and are perfect travelling companions for exactly this reason.
The obvious cons are:
  • Paper books are bulky and heavy. Carrying more than 2-3 around can become a chore.
  • You need a light source to read them - another thing that you'll probably carry around.
  • If you make notes in them, those notes are there to stay (Yes, even pencil. You can always see the imprints, even if you erase every last shred of graphite).

My Comments:
Hmmm... I agreed with the "easily portable" and "don't normally cause eye-strained" advantages of paper books. Those are a VERY GOOD point...

However, they are NOT "easily obtainable" and soooo NOT "cheap".

I'm novels addicted reader (especially romance genre)... I have to budget my expenses so i can set aside few bucks every month to buy new novels (can't live without them...) T_T 
and usually got frustrated coz the novels i want is not available.... =(
