In the past, I thought that books must be something made of paper. I have got used to books that are made of paper for so many years. And paper makes books, especially old books, have a sweet smell. However, the reality is that, when buying more and more books, the storage of books becomes a problem you have to face. New books are usually first published in hardcover version, which are always thick and bulky (and more expensive than the paperback version). I do not have a big study, and my home becomes short of places to store new books (as well as magazines and comic books). So finally, I have bought my Kindle.
Yes, I know, e-books are nothing new. But to read with an e-book, I have to change my reading habit. As I have said, I have got used to paper-made books for so many years. And I like the smell and touch of books. Nevertheless, since it is no hope that I will be rich enough to buy a big house with a big study in the coming future, changing my reading habit seems to be the simplest and easiest way to solve the book storage problem.
And, at least, I think I have done something that is eco-friendly to the world.
