Waste of Time and Money for E-Readers... To Me At Least

I think that if you're reading books on an e-reader, it's a bit of a waste of your time and also money. Only because there are so many things that you actually do with a physical book instead of an reader. I mean, really, why don't you just get the physical book, yes, it maybe be a little heavier than an e-reader, but at least you'll actually have the physical book, whether it be hard back or paper back. And I mean physical books: 1.They do not need to be charged. 2. It's hours and hours of entertainment. 3. It may get banged up somehow, but you'll remember all of how you really banged the physical book up. 4. There is also a glare on the e-reader, there isn't one on the book, unless it's on the cover or you're somehow looking into the sun while reading. There are just so many reasons as to why it's just a waste of time to get an e-reader and get books, it may be cheaper to get books on it, but to me it's more worth it to have the physical books instead of having it on an e-reader. To me, I think that books are always one of the ways that we can get to magic and they're one of the portals that we can have to get though to magic. They can take us on an adventure that no one else and nothing else can and I'm just really thankful that all of the writers that wrote all of the books that are in this world have actually written the books that they actually had written. I may not be a fast reader, but at least I have read books that really made me happy and also other emotions that nothing else can actually make me feel in the world.
And yes, it may be expensive to buy a physical book, whether it be hard cover or paper back, but it's still pretty worth it to actually have in your possession. When you have an e-reader, you can't actually feel the book that you're reading, when you have the physical book, you can feel the pages that it holds, the front and back covers, smell the pages in the book. With an e-reader, you can't do any of those things. And I mean, yes, e - readers get you to read but that's not even worth it because  they're not the actual physical book that you can actually hold, smell, feel and just so many other things. And yes, it is cheaper to get a book on an e - reader, but is it really worth it to have it as a physical book in your real life possession or on an e - reader? To me, the physical book will always be worth it because you can really hold the book, smell it, feel its intensity of it being a massive book or even a small book. And it does and it doesn't matter in some ways of a physical book being big or small, to me at least. For series, trilogies, duos, etc, I like to have the books all the same heigh, matching and either in hard cover or even in paper back. Some other people may not like it, like I do the way that some of their books are not matching and the same height, but at least we all have the books in our possessions. To me, it's just not the same if you have a book on an e - reader as if you already had it in your possession. Anyways, thank you for reading this if you've made it this far. So, I'll be writing soon!!
