Books Vs. EBooks

Ok, so I'm an avid reader.  I love finding new books that nobody has read before and trying to recommend them to others.  I can be a pretty good salesman :) I hear so many different views on using technology and having an actual book in your hands.  I use both and love both for different reasons! Here's my take on them.

Books:
Pros:

•  I love having an actual book to turn the pages.  Its very easy for me to see where I am in the book and how far I still have to go.
• It is very easy to pass on to my next friend after I've used my fantastic salesman skills. 

Cons:

• I have to wait until my next visit to the bookstore or my next Amazon.com purchase to arrive to get another. (I hate the wait.  I currently have one I'm waiting on and it stinks!)
• If you lose it or can't remember who you lent it to, you have to buy another or spend hours looking for it (Trust me! I know!).

Ebooks:
Pros:

•  It's so easy to click download. I am able to get a new book whenever I want!
• I also get to carry around my IPad mini instead of a huge book which I also like.  It seems to fit into my purse more easily.

Cons:

• I can't share them with my friends.  I have heard that with the Kindle app you can let them borrow it for 2 weeks. Sometimes I get busy though and I'm not done with it in two weeks. :(
• It's so easy to click download is also a huge con for me because my bank account shows!

I think I prefer to have an actual book instead of an EBook because it allows me to share with my friends.  I also tend to go towards a real book because I'm trying to build up my classroom library so that I don't have to do it all at once when I get a teaching job.  But, I love having an EBook when I'm traveling, because I love only having to take my IPad mini and not a book too.  I think this has a lot to do with preference! Either way, I suggest to just go read something!
