e-Books

Do you prefer e-books are real books? I know nothing beats having a real book that one can touch, smell (ha, I love the smell of new books) and open to read.

I used to cover myself with a blanket and read under the covers with a flashlight because my mom wants me to sleep early. My eldest daughter used to do that, using a mini reading light that can be attached to bedposts.

Ever since I discovered ebooks back in the early 2000s reading and squinting on my Palm Pilot and Casio PDA, I have refrained from buying real books for two reasons: budget constraints and lack of space. We have a room with floor to ceiling shelves and these are full of books (and other stuff) that  the books needed to be relocated somewhere else. I might have to look for a new home for these one day.

As of the moment I have a thousand books stored in my tablet. I don’t know how many I’ve read but many I guess judging from the eyebags I now have 😀
