9 reasons why I love reading eBooks with my eReader by Chris Jordan
1. Cost - eBooks are much cheaper than regular books. Where most NY Times bestsellers cost around $20-$30, you can get them at the Kindle Store for $9.99. So basically I save money in the long run.
2. Portability - There's no way I could carry around 400 books with me every place I go if it wasn't for my eReader. This way whenever I am in the mood I can just take my pick out of a wide variety of books.
3. Access to a wider array of knowledge - when you limit yourself to regular books you limit yourself to reading the thoughts and wisdom of published authors only. With the revolution of eBooks I can now read all sorts of stuff written by "normal" people which in many cases can just blow your mind away.
4. Information about anything - much like reason #3, today there are eBooks about practically anything. Starting from weight loss and all the way to how to build a chicken coop and other small ideas which wouldn't get published otherwise.
5. Comfort - With my eReader at hand I don't even need to get out of the couch to get a new book. I just wirelessly connect to the book store and take my pick. I can also read the first chapter of the book to get a feel if this is something I will like.
6. Saves up space - I recently cleaned my apartment and found out that I saved a whole lot of storage space because I have many of my books on my eReader now, and there for don't need the hard copies anymore.
7. I feel "cool" - I know, it's a stupid thing to say, but sitting on the bus and reading from my eReader just makes me feel cooler. I guess it's a high-tech thing…
8. I can read while driving - my eReader has a cool Read to Me feature which allows me to continue listening to the book while doing something else like driving. I usually don't use this feature too much for novels but it's great for manuals and "how to" guides.
9. I can read with one hand - I know not many of you have thought of this but when I read books I usually lie down. With regular books this means I need to hold the book with both of my hands and is sometimes very tiring. Because my eReader is small enough I can read using just one hand which makes it that much easier.
