Paper Books Vs Traditional Books

A lot of magazines have started to or already have switched to digital copies and even though some companies, like Neiman Marcus, is known for their stunning books has started to move away from print encouraging people to use the digital copies and make people feel good by letting them know that by reading a digital copy reduces the amount of paper used especially since their books are known to be very large and have numerous

I have made it my goal this year to read harder and older books rather than newer and easy books. I think that I have followed through quite well, though I did read a few easy books. Three years ago I purchased an Amazon Kindle Paperwhite I have found it easier to read challenging books. It makes books easier to read because, of the in-text dictionary I can look at the definition of an unknown word inside the book, it takes the words I have searched and, makes them into flashcards that I can go through later. By virtue of this technology I was able to read many challenging books such as the Three Musketeers, Journey to the Centre of the Earth, a quarterly synthetic biology journal, and many other challenging books. Fiction books I read mainly for pleasure, unless assigned or if it's a fiction wrote in an historic time period. I appreciate historic books because they offer an insight on the thinking and way of life of the people of that era. I also think that reading books written in an classical style influences your writing style. It is my opinion that some of today's literature has become more simply worded and not nearly as descriptive as previous eras. I found that in Journey to the Centre of the Earth by Jules Verne there were many outdated theories that I had never heard of this gave me an insight into the ways people thought. I have two mediums by which I read first of which is my Kindle Paperwhite which has almost every

Written textbooks also provide you with a sense of accomplishment as you make your way through the book, constantly tracking your progress from beginning to end. This sense of accomplishment is one that you’re only able to get with written text. Textbooks have a tendency to bring you into the text and allow different connections to be made relating back to your own life. Due to the attention-grabbing details you tend to want to finish it a lot faster than you believe you are capable of doing. Personally I prefer spending more time learning through written books because I am more capable of relating to the text and connecting to the points being argued. When it comes to engaging in a book or narrative, you are more capable of maintaining focus on the reading with paper text instead of all the opportunity for distraction that screen text brings. Some people prefer screen texts, but others like myself, prefer paper texts because we are able to annotate a lot more and engage more fully, so in the end we are more capable of understanding the points being

If the world were perfect, the average Joe would read voraciously- in his free time, waiting for the light rail, while riding shotgun in the car or even in the tub. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case. People are changing the way they spend their free time. They are trading their books for the television and Wi-Fi. Every day the amount of time spent reading is decreased and people are spending all of their free time on their electronics. You should read because it’s one of life’s leisure’s that can improve your knowledge, make you a better person, and expand your imagination.

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go,” wrote by Dr. Seuss. Whether it’s a blog, tweet, text, newspaper, novel, or a poem, people have always read to expand the mind. They read to escape the moment, to gain information, and to help direct them. On pewinternet.org a survey by Kathryn Zickuhr and Lee Rainie, show that in 2013 only 76% of Americans 18 and older have read a book in the past year. As I consider my reading experiences, I realized reading has provided relieve and comradeship on my journey, guiding me and forming my current feelings on reading. Hence my reading memories have befallen parable in my life.

"The cover image may help quickly ground us, but our eyes are drawn by habit to number and quality of reviews. We’re looking for metrics other than images, real metrics not artificial marketing signifiers," he wrote. And though that might eventually free book designers to get more creative with their designs, you can't display a digital book, even if you wanted to.” As readers we are drawn to the selection of fonts, the way the book is set out and how the writer has added their own personal touch to it. For example comic books, although magazines are the expression of comic book artists and story tellers.

Personally I have grown to have a love-hate with reading. I love stories that are able to capture my attention. However, texts that were written in old English or are hard to understand are more difficult to want to read. Yet, reading regardless for leisure or business is a requirement and should be utilized to the maximum.

I find that I personally don't read much outside of the classroom if it is not accessible from any of my portable devices. On most occasions,

One amazing way reading has changed is just my short lifetime is the digitalization of almost all books. When I was very young I faintly recall going to Barnes and Nobles to actually buy a book, now I get everything I read online. My inability for a long time to reread any book made my parents find a cheaper way for me to read. When I was nine I got my first ever tablet, a Kindle Fire, this one thing completely changed how I have read from then on. I never went to the library again to get a book after I received this Kindle. I got all my reading materials from amazon and still do today. This allowed me to read many more books faster and much cheaper than in the past. After about a year I was restricted to the one

Everyone hates to read at some point in their life, right? I know I did, I hated reading when I was younger. I especially hated reading assigned books from school, with that said, that might be the reason why I hated reading. However, I became interested in reading during the last years of high school. Now I have read more books than I can count. Aside from that, I have always read books the old fashion way. The only time I listened to books was during class. It was okay then, because no one wanted to read the book. Thinking back to it, I know that there were times that I couldn’t concentrate on the narrator. Therefore, I would go back and read it myself, or I would read with the narrator. It is strange, but I realized that I couldn’t concentrate on words that are being read to me… So, is reading a book better than listen to a book? From personal experiences, reading a book personally would help me comprehend it better than listening to a book.

One is better at retaining the story when they read physical books they are better at stimulating the brain by engaging all the senses: by looking at the text; holding and being immersed in the smell of the book. Reading allows one to use their brain to fill in the missing parts of the story by imagining. The reader is actively processing what they are reading allowing it to go into their long-term memory. Physical books help one to learn new words by reading. Reading helps one to imagine the words and characters thus facilitating retention and prevents zoning

They feel that digital and paper books will both have a place in society and the future. They like the idea of digital books and believe they are an amazing innovation. Even though they like digital books, they still feel like paper books will always be needed. People are getting digital books, because they are a lot easier to get, and people are getting paper books because they like the feeling of holding the book in their hands. This leads people to believe that paper books will always be here alongside digital

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.

Did a person know that each year, “Approximately 30 million trees are used to make books all over the United States” (Pollak)? Americans have been exposed to books every day since we were able to read. Interestingly, many people still prefer paper books over the new modern way of reading called an E-book. Many readers feel that they can connect better to the paper version. Paper and E-books depend on natural resources, size, prices, and abilities. What would the reader buy: the modern E-Book or old school paper books?
