E-Readers...the ups & downs.
I have gotten stuck into some really awesome reads recently and have completely forgotten I have a blog to post.
These awesome books have actually been e-books. I shall blog about them in my next post but for now I'm going to tell you the pros & cons of reading off a tablet.
I was put off by the back light etc. but reading on an actual e-reader has been fantastic.
I highly recommend it for fiction. All your books can be stored on a lightweight device as opposed to lugging around a huge book bag (which I have been known to do)!
It’s great for reading at night; you can change the font size & colour (I don’t have to wear my glasses-BONUS).
I can read anywhere, everywhere, even while pretending to be working ;-)
Those maybe the many virtues of the e-reader but I do have a few downers...
You can't really read a business or textbook on it especially if you want to quickly refer to something you've read previously!
The battery lasts me seven hours and if I'm travelling and not near a charger or laptop, I'm left stranded without something to read...
And...I can't read in the tub L
I can live with the cons but I also refuse to give up actual books. I get high at the euphoria of all of my senses being engaged!
LONG LIVE BOOKS!
Keep an eye out for my next post with a few reviews from my current reading list. J
Till Next Time,
KD
