Reading Books
Last year predictions indicated electronic books might take a much larger share of the market than printed books. The sales figures have shown that ebooks have become quite popular.
Over the years, I've enjoyed holding physical books in my hands. Having a choice of choosing an ebook or a physical book has made the reading experience even more engaging.
From an early age, physical books kept me entertained for hours. I read exclusively from printed books throughout my public school years, since electronic devices did not exist. Then, after I taught school for a while, I experienced what it was like to use a computer for certain tasks: writing emails, creating stories, reading authors' blogs, and modifying pictures. When ereaders became popular, I did not purchase one. Reading from another screen, after spending hours a day on a computer, did not appeal to me. Besides, during the winter, I've enjoyed enveloping myself in the bedcovers with a book and a nightlight. I don't think I would feel comfortable tucking the covers around an ereader.
If the day ever comes when I would like to use an ereader, I'm sure my husband would loan me his ereader to try out. But, right now, I'm not ready to purchase such a device. I'm content to read hardbound and softcover books from libraries and bookstores.
To all my readers everywhere, keep reading. I hope many of you will find new books to read this year. Perhaps, you will find some to purchase from my website or other authors' websites. And, I know some of you will download some material to your electronic device. Whatever method you choose to read material, enjoy the many options out there.
