“I like e-books

because you can have a

lot of different books in one place. Plus you can switch

them out and get different books and be reading

them at the same time. It’s a lot more

convenient. You don’t have to worry

about your books getting damaged

and it’s a lot cheaper once you have paid for the

actual device.”
