chloe (bellevieilleame) | 53 comments it depends, i read both but would definitely prefer a paper book in my hands than read it on a screen…but if i want to read a wattpad book or i’m too impatient to get the copy i’ll just read it on my phone


ᴺⁱᶜᵒˡᵉ | 220 comments I prefer paperback copy’s, but when I’m going somewhere I’ll just download a diff book on my phone

agreed, books are sooo expensive, but I found a cheap alternative to going to free little library and thrifting if you ever want physical copys

aiden i think i prefer physical copies because sometimes reading on a screen just hurts my eyes, idk maybe it's just me

Oopsie Daisy (Crows Version) physical copies


cassఌ (taylors version) | 51 comments physical copies for two reasons. one, i find that it’s easier to read and two because having a physical copy in your hands is so much more comforting.

kenners?! physical copy


message 64: by Adina (new)

Adina | 10 comments I prefer the eBook because it’s lighter and you can easily carry it with you wherever you go, even if you’re currently reading a huge book. Plus ebooks are less expensive than physical books. These are the two main reasons for my preference, but there are other advantages as well.

Camila  Manrique | 65 comments Screeeeen!!! I haven read a book in years. When it is in my hands, ey became a job or homework. With ebook I have read 18 books in 5 month. Never in my life. I'm so happy


message 69: by Camila (new)

Camila  Manrique | 65 comments And you can change book in a second I mean it's great if you are not used to read just one at a time. And I read in English and Spanish so having the dictionary just right there is the best.

message 73: by KaleDragon (new)

KaleDragon | 49 comments Both for me, I do prefer having a physical book but I read a lot of series and sometimes when I'm ready for the next book the physical copy is not available at my library but the ebook is and I don't like to wait.


message 74: by Sonia (new)

Sonia | 96 comments I looove physical copies of books because I can showcase them in my room but I got an E book reader for Christmas& it's great when I'm travelling so I don't have to bring all my books with me!

message 76: by Nay (new)

Nay (naomicanepa) | 50 comments Physical because its just a completely different reading experience for me. I also like reading as a break from my phone...

message 82: by Percy (new)

Percy {F͓̽a͓̽i͓̽r͓̽y͓̽ B͓̽o͓̽y͓̽} | 278 comments I prefer physical copies but I use online ones more often for free because then I can read it without buying it. One of my Christmas gifts was online books that they paid for for me, even though I found free ones in like five seconds. But at least I get to read them.


message 83: by Lucy (new)

Lucy | 4 comments I do both. Definitely prefer physical copies, but I also own an E-book and I love reading on it.

message 88: by amy .⋆。୭ (new)

amy .⋆。୭ (keatingslvr) | 8 comments i used to be a physical copies girl until i moved to a place without good public libraries n buying lots of books is only for the crazy rich, so i'm converted to an epub reader... but it's true when ppl say that they read faster on screen, it's difficult to explain.


message 89: by Burak (new)

Burak Gürses | 7 comments i prefer reading physical copies of course, but I rarely read ebooks if I can't find the book I want to read

Lara (lsophie27) | 23 comments personally, I prefer to read on my tolino... it's easier to read for me


message 92: by Suwebia (new)

Suwebia (biablogftlife) | 104 comments Reading physical books r always love and the experience is much much better but I keep some books digital aswell just in case I am out or waiting somewhere where I want to occupy my mind with something or I cant take my physical book somewhere so digital books come really handy at times like those


message 93: by Hayls (new)

Hayls | 10 comments Physical!


message 94: by malina (new)

malina | 13 comments I prefer physical books more but I read more ebooks because they're cheaper.


message 95: by klaudia (new)

klaudia | 26 comments physical but i do want to try digital one day


message 96: by Ayla (new)

Ayla R | 18 comments i prefer physical books, no specific reason tho

it just sucks when i don't have access to a light source, then i'd prefer an ebook


message 97: by maria🤍 (new)

maria🤍 | 527 comments I mostly read book on screen but I love them both and i’ comfortable with both


˚ ༘ lunar ♡ ⋆。˚ | 36 comments I read both, physical and digital copies, but I prefer reading a physical copy. I find it a little bit hard to keep myself motivated while reading an epub.


message 99: by niya ♡ (new)

niya ♡ (tirami6u) | 9 comments I’m gonna be honest, I noticed I prefer digital. Though I still love physical books.

I tend to lay down when reading and it’s awkward holding a physical book. also it’s easier to annotate and highlight with digital books in my opinion.


message 100: by BLAD (new)

BLAD (bladisglad) | 5 comments both have their benefits:

physical feels more immersive and impactful. plus, they are great for display purposes.

ebooks are more convenient to access + carry around. but your experience can be affected based on the size of your device. plus, there are so many free books u can get on amazon!

all in all, i love reading through both mediums. for me, it truly depends on which version provides the cheapest/most accessible copy.
