It is undeniable that the invention of electronic archive saves lots of our space to store those apparent important yet unnecessary files and documents. E-archive is much accessible due to its powerful index system that let us easily to find a wanted document faster and easier. Consequently, lots of information is accessible from Internet via Google Search Engine.
Since I am going to receive my 1Malaysia Book voucher in the coming few weeks, I think it is the time for me to figure a good reason for me to own a printed book. Firstly, I will identify those e-friendly book that will be excluded from my must-buy list. Then, I will finalise few criteria to help me make a better decision for the coming book shopping.
E-friendly book
There are lots of useful e-friendly books or contents. I can get what I want easily via my finger-tip plus a powerful index system from Internet. Thus, the chance for me to buy a dictionary is almost zero. In short, those e-friendly content should not be considered since it appears to be redundant and waste our limited resources.
To buy a printed / hard copy Book
1. For collection
Of course, we have a chance to ask the author to sign on the book. In addition, these kind of collectible books will enrich our mini library.
2. E-book is not available
There are few fascinating or important books available in printed version. Thus, the only chance to read them is to own them physically.
3. Reading habit
I have used to put my unfinished book in visible places that reminds me to read it when I pass-by these areas. This really helps me to complete many reading tasks.
4. Share with friends
When my friends visit my place, I can share my collection with them physically.
5. The three dimension (3-D) feeling
Personally, I enjoy 3-D more than 2-D. Printed book will tell you where you are: in the begining, middle or last few pages of the book, physically. In addition, printed book let readers know that the cover and size of books supposedly are different.
6. A Inspiring Collection
A printed book that collects fascinating inspiring short stories will be considered as well. Because this kind of books is very useful to 'fill-in' tiny free time in my life, e.g. the 10 mins before sleep, the 10 min to wait somebody and the 5 min to wait traffic light.
After write down these criteria, the next job is go for smart book hunting in nearest book shop. That's all for today.
