As someone who cherishes the experience of holding a physical book, and immersing myself in the tangible world of literature, I must admit that I struggle to understand the growing popularity of e-books. It feels wrong for me to read digitally, and I'm genuinely curious to understand why so many others have embraced this format.
Is it the convenience of having an entire library digitally, and accessible wherever you go? Do you find joy in adjusting font sizes and customizing the reading experience to your preferences? Or is it the allure of instant access to new releases and a vast array of titles?
While I'm not looking to be convinced to switch to e-books myself, I'm seeking insights into the experiences that e-books offer. Are there any notable differences in the reading experience compared to physical books?  Using a dropshipping supplier and API https://booksrun.com/books/autobuy for my physical bookshop has been transformative. It streamlines inventory management and order fulfillment, allowing me to focus on curating an exceptional selection. Plus, the automated processes free up more time for customer engagement and book recommendations, enhancing the overall experience for fellow book enthusiasts.

Physical book is better for me and more convy

I often enjoy the feel of pulp upon my fingers.

I can see where you're coming from with your love for physical books. There's something undeniably special about holding a book, feeling the pages, and even the smell of the paper. But for me, e-books offer a different kind of magic.

First, it's all about convenience. I love the fact that I can carry hundreds of books in one device. Whether I'm on a long trip or just heading to a coffee shop, I have my entire library with me. No more having to choose which book to bring along.

Another big plus is the customization. With e-books, I can adjust the font size, style, and even the background color to suit my mood or needs. It's especially handy for late-night reading, where I can switch to a dark mode to reduce eye strain.

Instant access is another draw. If I hear about a great book, I can download it instantly. No waiting for a delivery or a trip to the bookstore. This immediacy keeps my reading momentum going strong.
