Prefer actual books, but these days I find myself reading pdf versions of Urdu novels since I don't find those anywhere in the US :/

hmmm...are they not available online either?

I never thought I'd prefer e-books to traditional books, but the more I use them, the more I like them. It's so easy and they keep improving the quality. I rather sit with an e-reader outside on a sunny day than a regular book. Less strain on my eyes :)

Exactly!
I could never imagine myself reading an e-book, but the convenience it offers has made me change my mind. Though my first love remains the physical form, but I have nothing against e-versions now😊

I actually love both, I think if you have a good e-reader then it won't be as straining to the eyes. I like e-readers because you can store 100s of books in one device and it's right there and it's easier to carry


But I do love to read paperback/hardback books as well

Agreed completely👍🏼

If you had asked me like a month ago, I would've said paperback for sure. But now that I have a Kindle and have been using it, I LOVE it. It's just so much easier to carry around with you, in fact carry up to 3000 books with you and it weighs nothing.

Yes, paperbacks have their own advantages. Just that feel of having a book in your hand is amazing, and I miss it since these days I usually read on my Kindle but I still think that it was a good move on my part.

And I don't mind reading unpublished books either. In fact, I've read a ton on Wattpad. Some of those are very well written.

Well, personally I enjoy the experience of reading an actual paper book way more than reading e-books. So...yeah I read paper books...dunno reading e-books isn't as fun. Although I have read online books...but I enjoy holding the book in my hand and reading them much more. :)
