Physical Books

 





I was tempted to make the title of this piece 'Physical books vs Ebooks' but on second thought I wouldn't want to join the long train of debaters because this topic is based on conditions as well as choice.

Here's what I'll do, I would share the benefits of physical books in this post to help you make better decisions. Maybe you weren't just aware of its advantages.


Why you should read Physical Books?


Focus

If you want to deep read, consider getting a physical format. A physical book will help you be more engaged and immersive with the content. You're free from the distractions of social media, links, and Ads. This also applies when researching, you'd be able to use multiple books at the same time. With real books, you can hold multiple spots at once and flip back and forth between them in split winks without missing your original place.

According to research, reading a physical book aids retention and comprehension. The book design fosters focus.


Eye Care

Spending too many hours staring at a screen can cause eye strain or eye fatigue. Muscles around the eyes can get tired from continuous use, our eyes weren't really built to read on screens. The more time you spend on a screen, the more you are at risk of certain eye defects.

 If you're looking to care for your eyes, physical books might be helpful. Even as you use physical books, make sure to read books in a well-lit environment.


Live the progress

The nostalgic feeling you get from turning pages and knowing that you're growing towards the end, and going back to those explosive pages at will makes physical books beneficial. You can write lightbulb phrases and getaways on margins or even use highlighters for catchy sentences and important notes. 

Books have a feel to them, with texture, thickness, and weight. There’s more interactivity with the physicality, a person-to-object relation can make the story more realistic.


You can loan easily

If you're considering business, physical books can be convenient. You can start a used-bookshop to lend the books that you possess. You can get tons of books in this market.


Aesthetics

I can't bypass the pleasing appearance of books on shelves. The organization is an art and physical books make this possible.


Mental Mapping

Due to its physicality, it promotes a mind mapping experience.


Ownership

 With physical books, you have actual ownership to go along with your personalization. Having a physical book also constantly reminds you of the need to read. 


Physical books can also stand as evidence of investments, investments that have theft protection.

An Asset?

This disruption motivated a creative Sumerian to create a solution to the problem which brought about the art of writing. Writing was introduced to the system primarily for record-keeping. Although writing started with symbols (pictograph) and inscriptions on local materials such as clay and reeds. Writing evolved into a sophisticated script called the cuneiform which was used to record information about bureaucracy and authority, and other aspects of life. These were mostly written on scrolls.
