Which is better? Which do you prefer? Let’s list the pros and cons of books! In no particular order of course.
BOOK Pros:
1. The Smell!
2. The excitement you get after you read the back of the cover, the inside of the cover, and a random page and still wanting to buy the book

7. Get to add something new to your ever expanding book case
8. The joy of going to the book store just to find a new read

10. Knowing you’re supporting an author, an artist (for the book cover), a publicist, the company selling the book, and the place you bought the book from
BOOK Cons:
1. PAPER CUTS!
2. Books can get heavy, quickly
3. Can’t read in the dark
