I did this a few more times. fast forward to today I have purchased around 25 books \ud83d\ude22 anyways I have a problem and ebooks helps. <\/p>\n<p>Although I have a ton of ebooks that i haven\u2019t yet read since they were free and a few I\u2019ve purchased that I still need to read. I now make sure to dedicate an hour a day to get rid of these books and once I\u2019m done I pass them on.<\/p>\n<p> Any new books I buy I think of them as visitors and get rid of them as soon as I\u2019m done. I have fifteen visitors just laying around here waiting to leave. Anyways I already told myself no more visitors and after I\u2019m done with these fifteen I\u2019m limiting myself to three physical books at a time but I rather not if only I could transfer all my physical books to ebooks I would be so happy \ud83d\ude01 <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"thefa-test2 thefa-entity-placement\" id=\"thefa-3723115830\"><div id=\"thefa-1795660272\"><style>.thefa-test2 {margin-bottom: 24px;}<\/style>\r\n<div class=\"banner-content-position light-viol\">\r\n<div class=\"banner-text max400\">Start making your days count<\/div>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/start.thefabulous.co\/onboarding\/fabulous-initial?utm_source=community-qa&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=afterfirstquestionoranswer-purple-achievegoals\" class=\"banner-cta red w-inline-block\">\r\n<div>Try now<\/div><\/a>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Raul E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Print books are more cool. You build deeper relationships with print books as they got dadicated object magic. They also give you screen-free time.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Juanita Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I grew up reading print books. They something to hold and flip pages. I can make notes in the margins. <\/p>\n<p>I&#39;ve started reading Ebooks and have learned that I enjoy them just as much as print books. Sometimes illustrations come out a little wonkie. <\/p>\n<p>I like both.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Kelly W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">In my opinion, print books are the better choice. You get to keep the book, and it will give you the ability to physically move and feel it. Ebooks are downloaded on phones, and looking at the screen for too long, and up close, could harm your eyes.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Esther F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Previously, I always preferred only print ones. However I changed my mind and now I read both. For books that I cannot buy the print versions, I will look for them on ebooks. And ebooks are actually convenient for you to read wherever you are. So using both is the best option, it helps you maximize reading time and number of books.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Cecilie W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Why are you asking this? Reading is reading. Electronic or hard copy &#8211; it doesn\u2019t matter as long as you read.<br \/>\nI wonder if it is reading itself which is daunting you? If I\u2019m wrong, my apologies, and just read. Read whenever you can in whatever format suits you. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Aquiles C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">If you\u2019re trying to motivate yourself to start reading again after a big pause, I\u2019d definitely suggest you start with an ebook because you can\u2019t physically see how large it is and it will be less threatening to pick it up, but if you\u2019re concerned about distractions and having too much screen time then paper is the way to go.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Claire O.
