The Best of Both Worlds

It’s amazing how humans are wired. No two individuals are the same, even if they look alike.

What would you rather do, sit with a pile of books and dive in, or be more digital and perhaps "lighter" with e-books?

I am team physical books and e-books, I love both Y’all, sorry😃
Different factors motivate me to use each of them and I love how I can shuffle between them without feeling a certain way.

Be it physical books or e-books, as long as I am reading the “book” I am all good.

So here’s how I manage reading physical books and e-books.

I love my novels in e-books as I tend to use an audio reader for them plus it’s not every day I get to see some of these amazing books in bookshops.
Opting for an e-book to read with an audio reader gives me a different kind of feeling. It feels like someone is telling me the story. Being drawn into the world of the story via reading the fine print is cool but it’s kind of different when you’re listening to the story via audio.

The voice brings the images of the story to life and it takes me back to the days when my grandmother would gather all of us to tell us interesting stories.

I love how whenever I am cooking, cleaning, or doing my laundry I am listening to these stories. They keep me both entertained and energized. With my AirPods plugged in and an interesting novel playing in the background? I can conquer the world!

Chuckling in between whenever the reader reads out a crazy sentence or observes certain exclamations. For me, a lot goes on whenever I am consuming these books via an audio reader and I can say for a fact that it is worth it. It’s faster, more entertaining, flexible, and user-friendly. I can only achieve this with e-books.

For inspirational, technical, and self-help books I’d rather have these physical books in my hands than on my phone.
I want to look at every word and take in every single message the writer is trying to pass across.
These books aren’t just for entertainment but for enlightenment purposes, so yes, I’d treat them according and pay attention to them.

Flipping the pages of my book as I note some keywords down brings me so much joy.
I love how I am able to see my progress while reading the book and it helps me set realistic goals.

Just like I stated above, I love both e-books and physical books. I love the idea of being able to choose whichever one I want without feeling distracted or overwhelmed.
I use them differently and they each serve a different purpose in my life and I derive great satisfaction from both.

Do you prefer to sit with a pile of books or stick with e-books? I’d love to read your thoughts in the comment section.
