Electronic Reading vs. Paper Book Reading

We have really enjoyed "E" reading each week on our classroom iPads!

So far we have focused on...
  • True Flixs
  • Book Flixs
  • Follett Shelf 
  • Kid Rex Safe Searches
  • Infobits
Please share your thoughts on "E" reading. What is your favorite text to read? Do you love to read books on Follett Shelf? Do you love the True Flix books? 

Which do you really prefer "E" reading or paper book reading?

  1. As you all know, I read most of my books on my iPad and on my phone using an iBook app. I do read paper books. The paper books that I read are my old favorites or books that people give me as gifts or recommendations. At first I didn't like reading on electronic devices because it just felt strange. Then, after some time, I just got used to it. I LOVE making the background of my iPad black, turning all the lights off and reading in the total darkness in bed. It is super cozy. I look forward to my in bed reading time each night. When I am tired, I just close my iPad and fall asleep! I also LOVE highlighting memorable lines as I read fiction books. It is fun to look back at books that I have read and just read the highlighted text!

    1. I enjoy paper books better because I think paper books have better stories. Paper books are sometimes cheaper and easy to share. I like paper books because they aren't quite as fragile.

  2. I love E reading I think it is easier to move around and I like to not turn pages. I like true flix the most. But I still like all of them. 3-P ROCKS!

  3. I like both of them. The IPads are easier to move around with. But the paper books for some reason are just more satisfying.

  4. I like ''E'' reading the most but you can't read the same books on ''E'' reading as you can on paper so there almost the same. I really like the daily puppy today.Can we really get something else like that. Hey Tyler how did you do the blog so early school dosn't end tell 3. By!

  5. I love E reading but a paper book is my favorite.
    My favorite E reading website is probably, well
    I actually like 3 of them. I like True Flix, Book Flix
    and Kids info bits. I finish a lot faster with paper
    books. I just finished "The One and Only Ivan" for
    the second time it is one of my favorite books.
    I love E reading but I really love paper reading!
    P.S. I am feeling a lot better! Hope I can come
    to the field trip tomorrow!!!

  6. I can't decide, but I love E reading because you don't have to go to the library, find a book you like ( there are so many great choices!), check it out, and return it on time. With E reading, ally have to do is tap a few buttons and then you have it! Right now at school, I am reading Liar and Spy. And at home, I am reading The One and Only Ivan. And it has ALOT of memorable lines! I don't ever read on a device because I like reading paper books, too! And once I get into a book, I just can't stop! {:)}

  8. I love E reading I also love paper reading . But I prefer E reading because E reading you just have to click on the screen to turn the page but on a paper book you to hold the book pick up the page than flip it over and e reading you can change the words to be white or black.Also in E reading you can change it to be dark or bright.But some times I love paper reading

  11. I love 'E' reading! But if someone took away my paper books I would be devastated! Although I love paper reading iPads can have more abilities sometimes. I also agree with Sam because when you cut trees to make paper it gives us less oxygen. Also iPads can sometimes make stuff easier. Have an AWESOME time! See you tomorrow! :)

  18. I like E books more than paper books because...They don't use paper. Because if you use paper that means cutting down trees and we need trees to breathe so the more paper books we make the less trees we have to breathe. And soon there's going to be no trees in the forest and cities and were going to be forced to cut trees down in reservations and national parks and you do not want that to happen. See you tomorrow. By the way 3.P Rocks!
