When choosing to read either a paper book or on my Kindle, it just depends on which book I’m reading. Sometimes if I have been really looking forward to reading a certain book and waiting for it to be released, I prefer to read it on paper. If it’s just a spare time book recommendation or a BookTok video that intrigued me, I will just look it up on my Kindle.
The rise of popularity for the Kindle has greatly increased over the past few years. The main reason for this increase in popularity is because of BookTok which is a community on the popular social media app TikTok. The most popular book genre on Kindle is romance.
The Amazon Kindle began with the first generation Kindle in 2007. When it was released on November 19, 2007, it sold out about five hours after its release. Since 2007 they have come out with 10 different versions of the Kindle. The newest version being the 11th generation that came out in 2022.
The benefits of the Kindle is that it is very easy to bring with you at any time, and it’s easier to read at night rather than a paperback book. Also, I hate reading a paperback book and the pages get bent. It makes me not want to finish reading it, but with the Kindle you don’t have to worry about bending the pages.
With Kindle you can purchase Kindle Unlimited, which is where you get 2 months free with the purchase of your new Kindle. After the 2 months are over, you have to pay $11.99 a month, although Kindle Unlimited doesn’t include every book on the Kindle. When looking for a book to read on Kindle with Kindle Unlimited, Amazon uses a certain logo that is placed under all the books included with Kindle Unlimited.
Benefits of reading a paperback are if you are in a rush you don’t have to worry about charging a paperback book. The light from the Kindle can affect your eyes after a long period of time. Also, you get to build up your bookshelf and it is more visually appealing.
Whether you enjoy reading paperback books or on the Kindle both have the same benefits of reading and taking you into a world of your own!
