Six Situations That Are Great for Ebooks

Given yesterday's post, I thought I would make a similar post that focused on ebooks instead. Ebooks are great in most situations that physical books will do just as well. However, there are some situations that are great for ebooks, and probably ones better suited to ebooks.

Here are six situations that are great for ebooks.

Situation 1: Occasions where having a physical book is not very probable.

If you are out and about and are not able to carry a book around, ebooks are a great replacement for when you have a couple of minutes to chill and read. Additonally, most of us have our phones on us 24/7, and with the Kindle app, you would be able to read whenever you have a minute

Situation 2: Places where you only have access to your phone (if you have the Kindle app).

This one does relate to Situation 1, but it also stands as its own. While there are situations where physical books are not likely, there are other situations where physical books are out of the question. These situations are great for ebooks, especially if you have any available time to read. 

Situation 3: Pool or beach days.

This situation is highly dependant on your preferences and comfort level. However, if you are having a pool or beach day, it might be a bit risky to have a physical book (water damage) - although the same can be said for the device your using for your ebooks. As a result, it is (as mentioned) dependant on your comfort level and what you do or do not mind.

Situation 4: Soaking in the tub.

This is very similar to Situation 3. Again, this is also dependent on what you are comfortable doing. However, you can always take the precaution of putting your device in a Ziploc bag - but you should still be careful. (I've done this before, and it really works!)

Situation 5: Eating or drinking.

This is very similar to the use of audiobooks. If you are eating or drinking something you would rather not get on any of your physical books, then ebooks are a great alternative. And they are convenient since you will only need one finger to scroll through the pages.

Situation 6: In the morning after waking up or in the evenings before going to sleep.

Right after waking is a great time to read an ebook. Alternatively, reading an ebook before going to sleep is another great time. You do not have to flip through pages, just scroll through the electronic pages.
