While we all love the idea of a home library (who doesn’t?), it’s simply not practical for most of us. With an eReader, you can store literally thousands of titles and they’re all accessible at your fingertips. God forbid you’re one of those types that needs to take three or more books on vacation. Have you ever tried to cart around a 500-page novel on the train or on your way to school? Not only is a book that large uncomfortable to read from, but most happen to be too heavy to carry or too big to fit into your bag. While collections vary, if you’re someone who burns through books real quick this is a great way to save your buck. You can also sign up to an eBook subscription service, such as Kindle Unlimited ($13.99/month), that can give you access to millions of titles for an affordable monthly fee. There’s even a limited number of free books you can download.īut our favourite perk is the fact that you can download a sample of most eBooks and read a couple of chapters so you can get the gist of a story before committing to it - like you would in a bookshop. Every day, thousands of deals hit the eBook store, with some as low as $1. With an Amazon Kindle, that’s certainly true. Jokes aside, it’s often proclaimed to the heavens that you’ll save much more on books if you own an eReader. To quote an ancient internet proverb: “Reading a book is like staring at a dead tree and hallucinating”. Really, the question is… why haven’t you converted to a Kindle? Or any eReader for that matter? Bibliophiles will damn us to hell, but you don’t need to smell a book to enjoy it. Why should I convert to an eReader? Image: Amazon
