What is a BOOK?

A book is a messenger. It holds a story. It doesn’t matter, how the story is presented, but rather just the context. It can be an e-book such as the kindle or nook, and it can be a physical copy, it can also be an oral recording. The story, characters, words, worlds, thoughts, morals, plots and everything else is what creates a book. The way it’s received should be up to you. For me it’s a matter of what’s available. If my local library doesn’t have the book and I can’t go out to buy it I need another way to read it. I will go on my kindle and check all the online libraries, the amazon price, and acquire my ‘book’ that way.  Then I get lost in the novel(s).

Books when in Hardcover and Paperback copies hold their own advantages; as do the e-books. The physical version is a favorite because it allows me to easily reread and search for specific details. This of course is a problem with the online versions. The online version, however; manages to stop distractions. When reading an online version, it’s hard to read a page ahead, when it shows only one page at a time. I It’s also difficult to read the last page, because it will be hard to find your current one. In the night it’s better to read an e-book if you’re in a car or dark room. During the day physical books are better, because there is no light emitting from the book to harm your eyes.

Availability is my main concern between the fight of e-book verses physical copy. The context and story made me choose what I wanted, but availability was how I received my message. In my conclusion, books are how the story is told. But in hindsight; it should be the story that matters.
