In a world where we have iPhones, iPads, iMacs and all these electronic devices, reading has really been buried alive. The only time we read, especially as the youth, is when an exam is coming up or memes on social media. I have to admit though, holding an actual book and going through it seems like a lot of work. So should we just get lazy and give up on reading? Well, not a good idea. It’s in books where the old and experienced share their stories and things they wish they knew earlier. And if you don’t read what advantage do you have over those that can’t read? (Pause and think about it). However thanks to technology we can keep our laziness to get an actual book and still gain knowledge from e-books. It’s called killing two birds with one stone. Let us quickly go through a few advantages of e-books.
Portable: We could all agree here. As we move with our gadgets around, as we always do, we will also be moving with our books. This means you can read anytime and anywhere, on a bus or auto, when waiting for food or someone. Chapter by chapter you will be getting some reading done.
Space saving: One thing about e-books is you don’t have to worry about your small room and how you’re going to arrange all the books. You can keep all your copies in one device, simple & neat.
Wide range: Like it or not, e-reading gives you more choices to pick from than the library or bookshop. Just search for it and you’re likely to find. E-books usually have links to other related books, therefore, making reference easy.
Save a tree: Come on! Be a good citizen and save a tree by using e-books. They don’t require trees to manufacture papers.
The advantages are surely a lot, the list goes on. E-reading might just be the perfect thing to save the dying reading culture. Be part of the revolution, purchase e-books and you can also find free books on online storytelling communities like wattpad. Just get some e-reading done!
