Aaaah!! The eternal debate between whether I read my next book digitally on my Kindle, or do I get another pretty book to put on my shelf? The truth is, there is no “RIGHT” choice. I find endless hours of adventure either way, and it is all dependent on what my life looks like at that time. Let’s break down what goes through my mind when choosing between a physical book and an eBook.
What I am Loving About my Kindle
When I have my kindle in my bag I feel like I am carrying a whole library with me. I have thousands of books at my fingertips, with Kindle Unlimited. I take my Kindle with me anytime I am going to be sitting on a long car trip, on the plane, or just waiting at the doctor’s office. I have the Kindle Paperwhite, and I am in love with the backlight display and there is no glare, even on the brightest day. I can read in bed or on the beach worry free.
Why I LOVE my Kindle:
It’s perfect for traveling
I can read anywhere, anytime
Instant access to new reads whenever I want

I found the joy of reading at an early age, for me it is pure bliss to sit down with a physical book. There is something special about the feel of turning each page, and don’t get me started on the smell! Aesthetically there is nothing better than books adorning your walls like trophies to show off to all who visit.
Why I LOVE a Physical Book
Fantastic décor & instant icebreaker
Nostalgic vibes that take me back
Feels just right in my hands
So, Which Is Better?
It depends solely on your vibe:
- Constantly on the move? Go Kindle
- Do you love building a library with the pretty books? Stick with Physical Books
At the end of the day no one is keeping you from doing both, the best format is whatever fits your life. Now get out of here and find your next adventure! Tell me in the comments, are you Team Kindle, Team Physical Book, or Team Both?!
