Book vs E-Book

 This is going to be a little different from my usual book reviews. I've always wanted to know what people thought of E-Readers and if they like them or don't like them.

E readers have started becoming huge a couple years ago. Companies like Apple, Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Borders all have their own. The iPad, Kindle, Nook and Sony E-Reader are all useful with their own advantages over one another. These gadgets are supposed  to make it easier to read.

The question is, are they a better solution to an actually book?

For college student yes, instead of carrying the heavy mound they call textbooks. All the books they need for school are in one pleasant size electronic device.

Another group that would enjoy E-Readers would be people that go on vacations.  In that situation instead of having you luggage cramped up with piles of books you could just have that fantastic gadget in your carry on so you would never have to worry about it being lost or ruined.

For me, I disagree with these E-Readers. I love books more than just for the text.

The thing I like about books is that the more that you buy, the bigger your collection grows in your library.

The fact that it’s actually book in your hand is a better option than the E-Reader. Some of my friends as well as I cannot focus while looking at a screen.

It’s also been proven that E-Readers are not recommended to people with bad eye sight if the device does not have a back light.

If the E-Reader does not have a back light, it will become harder for the human eye to adjust which then the person end up with Chronic Eye Strain.

Unless its textbooks for college I would much rather have an actually book then the E-Reader.

So what are your thoughts on E-Readers? Would you rather have over one thousands books in a small portable device? Or would you rather have the legitimate piece of work?
