Ebooks vs Print Books: Which should you get for your kid?


Print books and ebooks
Ebooks are digitally made books with content just like print books which are now starting to gain popularity even though people buy print books more than ebooks. Ebooks come in different forms and formats like epub , mobi, pdf's and others. Unlike printed books which you can hold and actually feel it, ebooks are only seen on your device and only your device.

But the big question is; should you acquire an ebook version or a print book for your child? Well both have their pros and cons.

First lets look at print books

Pros
Print books actually feel like you have something in your possession and your money has actually been made good use of.

Kids like to show of a new book they have.

Cons

Print books can be easily torn apart by little children.

Once a page gets missing, it becomes difficult to make out the real meaning of the book.

Print books can be really expensive.


Now lets take a look at some pros and cons of ebooks.

Pros

Ebooks are cheap and sometimes you can get them for free

They are durable so long as you device remains virus free and out of danger.

Cons

The device parts can be easily destroyed by kids such as the screen.

Some devices require charging before use and this would be a disadvantage to kids when device is taken to school,


Final Verdict.

While both print books and ebooks have their pros and cons, I think getting an ebook for your kid would be the smartest thing to do.

Why?

Because in this modern era, cheap is the best. Why spend so much on print books when you can get the same value with ebooks. Ebooks tablets now come with hard screens and there are good protective covers and screen protectors you can buy for it.

Everything is going digital of late so start introducing your kid to ebooks today.
