I Prefer Physical Books And This Is Why?

Well, in my experience from all my school life and years of being a student physical books have always been the best and more appealing to me than any other book or reading format. Personally physical book is the best form of book that soothes and grows the brain capacity to accumulate knowledge and also retain them.

Physical Books deals with all forms of reading defaults and distraction, and holds your attention till your desired ending time for reading.


Physical Books Helps Me Focus Better And Increases My Level Of Retentive Memory.

Yes, physical Books help me glue my attention to my study hour and retain them for a longer period of time. Personally my reading habit is more suited with physical books more than any other format, right from preschool days to my current undergraduate level.

Infact at this point I just skim through my books this days and more than half of what I skim through stick to my memory, which would not have been possible if it was the e-book format.


Advantages And Disadvantages Of Both Books Format

Well the few disadvantages of print books format includes;

  • Lack of the ability to configure text, and edit page background.
  • Probability of your print book getting lost, in opposition to ebook that can't be lost, except deleted.
  • Book can fade or get torn, making you rebuy.

As for ebooks, some major disadvantages are;

  • Device notification distractions.
  • Requires high sense of discipline.
  • Could also get lost if device crashes down.

Physical Books Helps Me Avoid Distractions, Here Is How?

The e-book format as so many defaults and hardly holds my attention for long. E-book format has so many distractions and hardly ever helps retentive memory. An ebook platform most times contains unreasonable ads which causes distractions. Sometimes while reading on your device you're prone to have so many distractions like phone calls, emails, chat bots and so on, for which it takes a huge amount of discipline to withstand such distractions.

All this pesty distractions are absent in the physical book format, for as long as you want to read your attention is forever glued to your book until you personally decide to withdraw it. Before your eyes is only the white and black pages any other thing is until you allow.


I Recommend Physical Books For The Environment

In this age and time where almost everything have been digitalized I still prefer and will always recommend physical books anywhere anytime. Our tech devices are very sharp in stealing our even without we noticing. If you were to read online only one slight notification is capable of destabilizing one's entire attention span.

Print books helps one embrace nature and can increase your self awareness of your environment and surroundings. The feeling you get from flipping from pages allows you appreciate nature and life.


IN CONCLUSION

Well, this is just my personal point of view, you might have your own reasons why you'll prefer the e-book format. It's all about being conscious of your reading lifestyle and what manner of reading helps you understand and retain context faster with ease. So ebook format might be the best for you, for me I'll always go with the printed text.
