Is reading online better than actually reading a book in your hands?

[alexia]

I have recently stare to read books online and really enjoy it! But,honestly,I am scared that I will have vision problems(I have blue eyes). Still,I feel like more freely cause I can read wherever,whenever. Any thoughts??

[audrey (completely gone rn)]

my suggestion is kindle and/or blue light glasses. i too have blue eyes and it is a constant struggle lol, a kindle is less of that harmful light and blue light glasses will help filter out what’s left.

js make sure to take regular breaks from screens and have blue light filter on, depends what device but sm do have orange light filters,

i prefer a real book, but if you're travelling, online device really helps. Though if it's like a phone then i dont recommend cuz the eye strain is really not worth it. If its like a Kindle or a tablet with blue light glasses then yeah its pretty good

I’m a bit old school and love reading physical books but only because I love the smell of books

[Deepak]

I personally prefer reading a paperback book. There's something special about holding a physical book, turning the pages, and even the smell of the paper.

I’m a mix of both. Ebooks are way easier to get ahold of, but physical books just have this sort of magic to them that ebooks don’t. Plus, if you’re reading a paperback you're not staring at a screen :)

I would never focus online I prefer physical books

I like reading a hardcover book I love holding the book and smelling the book and I cant do it if its online its not the same

Nothing will ever be better than holding a book in my hands

No, physical books come with so many things that are much more appealing than digital copies. The kindle editions to me are just for books I don't feel like buying.

Physical books come with the texture and the smell and the looks and the ability to be annotated creatively! I love them! Also, you can't get an author signature on a kindle edition!

I much prefer physical books. Especially since it’s so much easier to annotate those to me

i hope you domt mind me asking but how do blue eyes affect your vision?? i just want to know since i also have blue eyrs:)

I like having the physical book but unpopular opinion alert I prefer reading on my phone, it’s more convenient and so much easier to hold.

Physical books are so much better in my opinion, not that I don't use online books but physical books just make your brain feel so satisfied with finishing a book or just getting to just check your progress in the middle of reading, I also love to admire the cover of a book multiply times when I read something, while in an online book, it's harder to do that.

blue eyes are more sensitive to light than darker colored eyes because they reflect/scatter more light.

According to Psychology Today, reading physical books is much more beneficial to people for a bunch of different reasons!

I have green eyes & have lots of problems with light sensitivity. Also I get migraines easily & one of my many triggers is being on my phone too much even though I have the brightness way down. I obviously don't read on my phone lol. I have a Kindle Fire with a nice size screen but need to go back to the blue shade setting. I forget I turned it off cause of games I was playing. Yes it's easier to carry a Kindle or whichever tablet you use & easier to keep your place. I still prefer holding a physical book in my hands. To me it's part of the experience & part of my love of books/reading! It's comforting somehow that I can hold it in my hands as I slip into the world waiting for me within its pages!!
