Avid Readers Are Going Digital, And More Info Can Be Found With Internet Service Providers By City

By Germain Monsaga


Some say there's nothing better than curling up in front of the fire with a book. Libraries and bookstores hold many fascinating topics for any avid reader to explore. And for some, the onset of digital e-readers such as the Kindle have made reading an even more enjoyable experience. And it's also more convenient, because thousands of titles can be downloaded with a connection from internet service providers by city.

But some still say that nothing can compete with the smell of a book and being able to physically turn the pages. This has caused some to doubt the benefits of e-readers. But the latter actually has a number of advantages over the former.

For one thing, an e-reader is light. Most are in the range of 1 to 2 inches thick. This makes them incredibly easy to travel with, and much lighter than a thick book. You can customize an e-reader with a 'skin' that reflects your personality.

In addition, your digital reader can hold literally hundreds of titles. You can't say the same for a traditional book, even if it contains several books in one. The fact that you can access a library's worth of books at any time is a big plus to many considering the purchase of an e-reader.

The book light is a useful, but sometimes cumbersome accessory to the traditional book reader. But there's no worry about that with a digital reader. It comes with a book light built in. So not only can you read comfortably at night, but you may also be able to have the light adjusted automatically for the amount of light in any room, if you have a reader with this feature.

E-readers do cost more at the outset - you can expect to pay from under $100 to over $500, depending on the model you choose and the features it has - but the convenience can't be denied. You can preview a few chapters of books often at no cost, and the cost to purchase books in digital format is often much less than the cost to purchase them from a bookstore.

There are some issues which are common to e-readers. These issues can include frozen screens, inability to connect to the internet via wi-fi, missing lines and sentences, and issues with operating the touch screen on those models which have them. But thankfully, e-readers have been on the market for long enough now that there is plenty of information online about these common issues and how to fix them yourself.

But traditional books aren't strangers to issues. Purchasing used books can also result in missing pages, and their sensitivity to the weather could render them unusable, as moist pages can cause dangerous mold to form. And you may forget to take a book with you, although this can also happen with an e-reader.
