Choose Your Reader Wisely, Fellow Bookworm!
Christmas is just around the corner. Calling all the fellow avid bookworms around the world. Welcome to the "real" 21st Century.
Just as many of us expected, even our most popular, common hobbies will eventually be revolutionized by our always-evolving technology. The latest cutting-edge forms of technology already revolutionized our common hobbies and our ways of modern life, such as music, communication, and art. At this period of time, technology has finally revolutionized our favorite hobby: Reading.
Are your favorite books that you have in your possession since childhood falling apart? Are the pages of your favorite textbooks already worn out? Or worse, are you running out of space in your bookshelves at home that you had no choice but to get rid of the current books occupying the spaces to be donated to the library or literacy charities or even to the recycling bin? Maybe for the ones you no longer want, but for your favorite books that have been sitting in your bookshelves collecting dust? Fellow readers, this is the reason why technology just had to intervene and solve this common problem bookworms face everyday. You want to preserve those beautiful, wonderful text that your books hold inside their covers. The pure perfection of the books' stories, the highly valuable information your old textbooks and reference books hold, it's no wonder the saying of "Never judge a book by its cover" came about. You don't just buy a book for its beautiful cover, but what is inside is what you're aiming for.
Many young and modern hipsters of the late 20th Century-born generation are already aware of the eReader and the tablet, but among 70%-80% of the bookworm population around the world are still devoted to the tangible bound paper and ink rather than a computer file with nothing but text and pictures here and there. I currently own an early Android-powered Velocity Cruz T105 tablet that has a lot of features packed along with your usual eReading apps pre-installed, however like many of those 70%-80% that I mentioned, I still feel devoted to the bound paper and ink. If that's the case then why did I decide to buy a tablet? Well, if you keep reading, this is the reason why I'm writing this article.
I'll assume that you as an avid reader have been pondering for a long time if investing your money on an eReader or a tablet would be a wise decision or a waste of time and money. Knowing how rapid technology can be as time passes, sometimes waiting for the latest models and enhancements is worth, but then again, you just want to have some kind of a convenient device for the sole purpose of reading electronic books and other documents. Do you like absolute tranquility when you are reading? Do you love grooving to some sweet music while you read, isolating yourself from the rest of the world? Do you want a type of reading device that also gives you the convenience of "reading break" activities, such as watching videos online, keep in touch with your social media networking via Twitter, Facebook, etc., or even play your favorite mobile video games?
