The big debate in reading now is books or e-books. Which form of book is better? They both have their advantages and disadvantages, so it will depend on your preference.
Books
One of the main advantages of reading a book is that you can hold the physical book in your hands. A lot of readers love the smell of books, which is another benefit of having the physical book, you can still smell it.
A disadvantage of this is that they can take up a lot of room. If you like to read multiple books, you will need somewhere to keep them all. Also, they are more expensive to purchase.
E-Books
On the contrast, with E-books, you can not hold the physical book, you will not be able to have the smell most readers love.
E-books are however more portable. If you like to read on the go it is easier to carry around a kindle than multiple books.
