Online Class Notes (Mike)

working from home VS Office

I prefer physical books to e-books because I love the scent of new books. I think that would be the aroma of the ink. However it is something that e-books do not have.
When I was a student I loved reading Japanese manga, which only sold one copy a month, and I loved the wait because when I got a new book, the new story always made me look forward to it. Another reason was that when I collected the 7th book, the summer vacation was here.
Of course the e-book is very handy, it can import a very large number of stories or comics in it, which looks very cool. Because no matter where you go, just take it out of your bag and tap the screen you can view the information you read last time and the computer will help you remember anything.
But electronic products are not good for the eyes, at least I think so, which is why many e-books are trying to imitate the feeling of physical books
Maybe you like e-books, he also likes e-books, but I prefer physical books. Because it does not need to be charged, I can read it anytime and anywhere.

I prefer physical books to e-books because I love the scent of new books, which is the aroma of the ink.
When I was a student I loved reading a monthly Japanese manga. This magazine had a series of stories, and every time when I got a new copy, I would feel extremely excited and couldn’t wait to read it.

Another reason was that the 7th book marks the beginning/arrival of summer break. 
Of course e-books are more handy, it can store a large amount of books without taking up too much space/storage, an advantage physical books don’t have.

No matter where you go, you can take it out of your bag anytime and resume your reading.

Electronic products are not good for the eyes, which is why many e-book companies are trying to imitate the reading experience from physical books by designing the products more similar to a physical book.

Although reading on a kindle is more popular nowadays, but I still prefer physical books. Because it does not need to be charged, I can read it anytime and anywhere.
