July 18 (Diary) Paper or Electronic

Clear skies, far from refreshing

I am an indoor person by nature, but when it is sunny outside, I feel like going outside. I am sure that an extension of this is “traveling.
Anyway, I can’t wait for the day when I can travel the world freely.

I was originally a paper reader, but since I bought a Kindle whitepaper two years ago, I have become an e-book reader. The most important reason for my addiction is that I can’t read a single book for a long time.

It might be easier to understand if I use the analogy of television. When I’m watching one program, I can’t help but wonder what else is on. In other words, you want to change the channel. I mean, I feel like changing the channel.

When I reach the end of a book I am reading, I want to read something else. As a result, I end up reading about ten books in parallel. In another sense, I am a prolific reader.

In reality, however, it is difficult to carry ten books with me in my room, let alone outside. In such a case, whitepapaer is the perfect companion for such a binge-reader (I am not an Amazon spokesperson).

I also wish that e-books themselves would become a little more popular (why are they so expensive even though they are electronic?).
I hope that people will have a chance to publish and read in a variety of styles.

I am sure that new literature will be born in this process.
Despite the publishing recession, the number of publications sold is at an all-time high year after year. This is a situation in which bad money is driving out good money.

However, as was the case with YouTube, e-books may initially produce inferior products, but if they go too far, I believe they can become the mother of good products.

That is exactly what I am looking forward to when the time comes for readers to be able to choose the truly good books. Of course, first of all, I need to write books that will be chosen by readers.
