Ereaders And Book Comparison Essay

As I look back on my childhood, I don’t remember a time when I wasn’t fond of reading. I love the way a good book just draws you in and it is almost impossible to set it down because you want to know what happens next! Looking back to my earliest moments I can always remember my mom and grandma always reading me books for hours and hours at a time. My favorite saying when I was younger was, “just read one more!” I couldn’t go to sleep without my mom at least reading me five books! My favorite was “The Little Mermaid” but I loved all of the princess books and I had possibly every one you could think of!

One of my all time passions is reading. I credit my love of reading to my dad, who has spent a great portion of his life reading as well. Some of my earliest memories are of my dad reading Harry Potter to me and my siblings, though I was the only child listening. My love of reading has only grown since then. Through reading I have learned about countless worlds and thousands of stories. I have discovered myself in between the pages of many different books, and I have learned more about people and the world arund me. Of all the ways to spend time, reading may be my absolute

When I was a younger I don’t remember if I was read to or not, but I read a lot of books. I enjoy reading books because they allow me to reach new heights in my imagination. At my age many kids say that reading is boring and is for losers. I think it’s cool to read and will continue to read throughout my life. I have read many different types of books from fiction to biographies. The longest book I ever read was a book called Dragon Rider by Cornella Funke. It was five hundred and thirty five pages! When it comes to reading I am a superstar! When I’m reading I am able to get a moral lesson from what I read, so it ends up helping me in the long run of my life

I as a reader enjoy reading, however I do not do it as often as I would like. I always have trouble starting books, I would say that the first five to chapters are the hardest to get through. I admire how with reading you are able to make your own depiction of what’s happening, instead of seeing what others envisioned. To me a great book must have twists and turns to keep me interested. I love being able to get to know the characters, feeling as if they are apart of your own life, being able to see them as almost a friend in your own life. Taking their life lessons and putting them to use in your own. I like more romantici books where they have to get over many obstacles to obtain their great love. I also enjoy reading about a character who is able to turn their troubles around and become better than they once were.

As for reading, I thoroughly enjoy it. Personally reading has always been something I appreciate to make

Many people say they hate reading, but I believe everyone has the potential to love reading, they just need to find the right genre or series to look under.

I was never a fan of reading when I was younger I always thought of it as a waste of time. However when I my aunt got incredibly sick reading became my escape from reality. I remember sitting in the hospital waiting room waiting for my turn to go in to see my Aunt I would just sit there and read 4-5 books a day. When I would read I would get lost I would feel like one of the characters in the book and that all the problems and issues that me and my family were going through didn't matter at the time. After I lost my aunt I started writing in a journal of just how hard it was to except the fact that she was gone and that i wouldn't be able to see her everyday anymore. Writing and reading later became my best friend I started downloading book after book and after I finished the book I would write about and how I related to it. That was my escape from reality, I slowly started to understand that my aunt passing away made me mature in so many

“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one,” wrote George R.R. Martin. People read all kinds of books, some just for fun and others just for work. There is no limit to the books that can be found in this world, and even more are still being made now. Murder mystery, romance, adventure, action, etc. Books open the mind and create a mental movie only you can enjoy. You can decide what every individual looks like, what the scene looks like, and you can pretty much do anything when you read. For part of my life, reading did not play a major role; however, now it is a way of life.

I have never liked reading. I didn’t like it because it didn’t do anything but waste time. You would just sit there and look at boring pages like a stupid

I have always loved to read. In fact, Dr. Seuss’s children’s books were my favourite and I still keep them in my shelves today. Reading filled my imagination and gave me inspiration since childhood that still impacts me today.

Although, I am a realist, reading has been an escape from reality into a world where it feels like I'm living a different life. A place where the author gives me the opportunity to expand my imagination. In my mind, opening up a new book is like opening up a door into the mind of someone else. Reading to me is an escape from the hardships in my life. When there were problems that I need to get away from a book was always there for me. No matter how good or bad my day was, reading improved it. It brought peace to my mind that while the world kept going on around me that I was able to tone it out and focus on one thing only. That the book that I held in my hands was able to be a different place that I could travel.

For as long as I can remember, reading has always been a hobby of mine. Both of my parents encouraged me at a young age to pick up books, and they furthered this by reading to me often. They influenced my interest in fiction and nonfiction, and when my sister was born, I would do the same for her. Even though I still like to read, I have found more hobbies and my interests have changed. Nevertheless, I still have the same enjoyment reading my favorite literature that I had when I was little. Also, I have developed a fondness for writing in the last few years as well.

Reading has been one of my favorite hobbies since I was a little child. I grew up as a normal child should grow and eventually I had to start learning for me to fit in society. My literacy started many years ago, after I knew how to talk and communicate with people. Reading my alphabet was quite stressful and I had to be given a hand by my family members. I remember my parents reading with me and it was the most meaningful and memorable way to spend time with me. This is because I liked reading a lot and I was eager to learn so that I could fit in with my older siblings. My favorite books were storybooks taking about adventures and fairytales

Using an e-reader to read is a very convenient option for students. Carrying large, heavy textbooks can be overwhelming. Students’ backpacks get heavier and heavier as more books are added every year. This can lead to serious back problems later in life. With something as small and light as an e-reader, it saves not only a ton of space. E-readers can also make a huge difference while traveling. Everyone loves a good book or two to bring along on vacations or long business trips. Now students can bring homework along too. Instead of trying to pack several large textbooks, one can simply download those books needed onto their e-reader. Imagine being able to do homework in the car, while waiting for practice to start, or waiting for the bus to arrive.

And books are a tactile experience, meaning they are supposed to be experienced through touch and smell (especially for the old books). A book is meant to be an experience that can have depressions and elevations on the cover and text, feeling the weight of the pages as you turn them and all of these elements when combined make a book what it is, but when you read an e-book you are exposed to digitized text and a screen. And it’s been proven that when people are exposed to screens of TVs or computers they are less likely to have a good night sleep. On a web poll about e-books vs. books one person commented, ‘I've tried reading a few e-books but I've always given up. I just don't like looking at digitized text when I'm reading a novel. I like the feel, the weight and even the smell of books,’ many of the following comments made by others agreed with this persons thoughts.
