I love physical books. I love the feel, the smell, the texture of them. I love the way they sit on my bookshelf, on my bedside, and between the covers. I sleep with them. And I wake up with them.

I bought my Kindle seven years ago; all this time, I only downloaded free eBooks. My rationale was if I was to spend money, why spend them on ebooks when I can buy print books.

It was not until last year, during the lockdown when was not frequenting the book stores, that bought some digital books. It was convenient, I didn’t have to wait for many weeks for the books to arrive, and I didn’t have to pay the shipment fee (which is substantial since I live in Australia).

The books were on all my devices within a minute, and I could read them on any device — my phone, iPhone, computer, or Kindle.

Now I am buying a lot of books as digital books. In fact, just today I bought in last two weeks I have bought seven books and before that, eight last week.

Now, this was from a reader's perspective.

Let have a look at it from the writer’s perspective.
