Screen or paper
The debate goes on…
For new authors, one of the things that is a concern is will my books sell better on paper on as an e-book…
I for one prefer reading paper books. There is just nothing like the texture of the paper sliding across your thumb when you turn the page, the delightful crinkle of the paper as it settles, and the faint aroma of the ink. Sometimes paper books are like an old, comfortable friend.
E-reader screens are cold, one dimensional, clinical things to me. I do only release my novels as e-books currently as that is the ‘wave of the future’ I was told this spring. I am rethinking that approach now however. I have received plenty of feedback that shows that more readers prefer the paperback than the e-reader.
I’m taking a writing hiatus for the first two months of 2016 to get back to my love of reading. I plan to purchase only works from Indie authors this year, perhaps permanently. I have a pretty long list of titles already that I’m dying to read, and as funny as it sounds, I have asked ‘Santa’ for a Kindle. Don’t judge me just yet, if I truly adore an e-book I read, it will definitely be added in paper to my permanent library as well shortly after believe me!
So do you prefer paper or glass for your reads?
