It's time for another bookish dilemma! Today's focus is on the dilemma of electronic books (ebooks or audiobooks) or print books.
This may seem like an insignificant dilemma for some readers. However, I know that I've struggled with this dilemma plenty of times. I've always been okay with the use of ebooks and audiobooks. However, until recently, I never really actively used them. It was mainly due to my love of physical books. As a result, I also know that I'm not the only reader who's struggled with this dilemma.
Why is this such a dilemma for many readers? There are many factors as to why:
- A personal situation that only allows for one book format
- Access to cheap books in any format
- Space for books, both physical and electronic
- Time - not everyone has the time to sit and read a physical book or ebook
For me, factors 2-4 are the main reasons why I have a bit of a dilemma in choosing to go the electronic book route or the physical book route. I don't have loads of money to spend on books alone. I don't have a lot of physical space for books in my current situation. Lastly, being in university, I don't have a lot of time to sit and do some personal reading.
On the 17th, I will be giving some suggestions on when to use physical books versus when to read ebooks or audiobooks.
