A book is a blanket. A book is a blanket
that you can curl up with and read for hours and hours a day. A book is like a
blanket because it starts cold until you warm up to it. You can curl up with a
blanket on Sunday night and feel its warmth. Once you are warm under the
blanket you never want to get up. After you get up all you want to do is get
warm again. A blanket can help you through hard times. You can cry into the
blanket or you can cough in to it too. It has a laundry smell that makes you
smile. It has a fuzzy feeling that never goes away.
A book is better than a kindle or
an electronic book. An eBook doesn’t have a scent and it doesn’t have the same
feel as a hard copy. You can only read
it for so long before your eyes begin to hurt and you become sick from looking
at a screen. It’s the feeling of flipping the page instead of clicking a
button. A page is a page unlike the eBook which turns one page into several
pages just so you can see the font. You have to click the button several times
to get from page one to page two.
When reading an eBook there isn’t a
sense of accomplishment after finishing a book.
When you read an actual book you can see how large it looks and you know
the weight of the book. When you are half way through you can see the line that
your bookmark makes in the book. It’s like a half way mark in a race; once your
half way through you can tell yourself that your half way there. When you’re reading an eBook it’s like just
seeing that you are 13.2 miles into the race. How far in the race is that? It doesn’t
say half way, only 13.2 miles. There is no sense of accomplishment.
Being able to pass down a book to
family and tell them how good it was it great. What if it is passed down
generations and all of your family ends up reading it. So what do you do when
you have an eBook and you can only share to so many relatives because they don’t
all have eReader’s.
Oh no I lost my kindle! So now I don’t
have any of my books! If I had hard copies of the books I would a lot smaller
chance of losing them all at once. It may be nice to be able to carry all of
your books around at once but if you lose your device then you have to buy a
new one and restore all of your books. If you lose the one book you’re reading
it is easier and a lot cheaper to replace it.
i thought that this post was really cool. it was uniqe and fun to read. i totally understand what you mean when you talk about the difference between a real paper book and an ebook.
ReplyDeleteI thought this post is a really good explanation of what a book actually is. It was a very unique post also. I can really tell the difference between and eBook and a paper book.
ReplyDeleteI really like this post because it shows why books are better than eBook's. I also like how it's compared to a blanket.
ReplyDeleteI agree that you can really tell the difference from a book to an e-book. However, I think that neither one is better than the other. It all depends on the type of person you are. I personally would disagree that it makes a difference if you can smell and touch a book. When I go to the bookstore i do not feel and smell my books and say "ooo that one smells like cherries, I'm going to buy it."
