| I have gone from paper books to Kindle and then back to paper books. I really loved the experience of reading Kindle, especially Kindle Keyboard. It was amazing experience compared to physical books because I had all my books on it, I could also send blogs & articles to it. Physical page turn buttons were easier to use than turning a page but also provided satisfying tactile feedback. The real keyboard was really useful for taking notes. And when I was tired of holding it, text to speech was good enough to listen to a few chapters. Text to speech was also great when I was reading, it kind of helped me read faster and I remembered what I read longer. Sadly, after my Kindle Keyboard died, I end up buying new Kindle. the reading experience on it was not as great but I had spent so much money on e-books. So I kept it. But now I have kids. I don't want them to see me on another device which to them is same as phone/ipad. Also all books are on it, there is no way to turn on child mode on Kindle before handing it to them. So now I only buy physical books. They are easy to share, I can easily see from distance what books my kids are reading, they cannot accidentally purchase tons of books, and if one book is damaged, it is just one book. |
