    I prefer an e-reader and digital books. I pirate them for my kindle.

    • No space and weight so you can take them anywhere
    • Piracy
    • Can download far faster than ordering or going to the bookstore
    • Can find niche or foreign books my local bookstores don’t have
    • Built-in dictionary and translation is just moah
    • Adjustable text size or font
    • Easy on the eyes, can read in the dark
    • Can pick up where you left off super easily, no need to worry about bookmarks

    I was not an avid reader prior to the Kindle purchase. I used to read comic books almost exclusively haha. Nowadays my reading habits include more book reading as well. The Kindle was honestly one of the best purchases I’ve ever made.

      And they’re much easier to hold when I’m reading in bed.

      Cons:

      My bookshelves are sad.
      A lot of books are ill suited to digital.
      They can vanish at any time (unless you take the time to unlock and archive them).
