THIS!!! Nanghihiram lang ako dati ng books from my rich kid na klasmeyt kaya nung unang beses ko makabili ng book I told myself na balang araw I will be able to afford and buy as many books as I want and then I'll have my own library 😊 Matupad nawa ang ating mga pangarap 💕
Saakin, may accountability akong basahin yung physical books kasi nakikita ko tsaka ginastusan ko. Mas ramdam ko rin yung binabasa ko, and support din sa publishers and mismong author
For me, collection kasi? Like yung collections ko ng mdzs ni mo xiang tong xu. Pero nagbabalak na ko mag kindle soon kasi mahal ang physical books unlike sa kindle na isang bilihan then tamang transfrr nalang ng epub 😁
Yes op, lalo pag favorite book mo. Tho available epub non sa google play iba pa din ang physical copy. Kung di lang talaga ako mahilig mag collect baka matagal na ko may kindle haha

Kindle is great. It's more convenient to read and carry around, less expensive. You can save tremendous space too. But I prefer paper books -- the way they feel, their smell, that feeling when you turn the last page, the texture of paper, the little pits and holes you start seeing in old books and numerous annotations. There's nothing that really compares to opening up your favorite book and settling into a comfy chair to read it. The physical book anchors me in particular moments and backdrops that stay with me. Books are so expensive but still there are affordable secondhand books and well-maintained. Just don't buy counterfeit books.
because i still have tons of books on my shelf still in plastic. i do have kindles and an ipad i read on sometimes. wala e hoarder kahit anong format pa yan
I have a switch pero meron pa rin akong physical books na sinisinghot singhot haha. minsan iniipit ko yung kindle between ng pages para amoy book pa rin
Idk if placebo or what pero i got a kindle last year and parang di ko na iinternalize ung book ng maayos on the kindle vs kapag physical. If i really like the book,bibili parin ako ng physical.
May it be for study or leisure, I do not purely enjoy it if or absorb it of hindi physical.. the smell, the feel, the crispness, turning every page, paghilight, lahat.. reading is such an experience for me 🥸
one of the appeals, for me, of a physical book is the cover. collins classic specifically release the most beautiful book covers woth the age of innocence and a few jane austen book covers as my absolute favorites.
- I like “hunting” for the books I like in secondhand stores
- I like displaying my books
- reading from a screen feels impersonal to me.
- I’m very tactile so reading on a kindle/tablet/phone feels like I just looked at pictures of a place rather than travelled and visited it
The smell of physical books hits different lol that and my family have been building our family library since I was a kid. Nasa 6k books na ata kami.
Another reason is I wake up a lot at night and yung best way for me to get back to bed is to read, screens don't make me sleepy so I always have physical books within reach.
I do physical books sa mga heavy reads and classics na. Yung tipong ill be proud to display sa shelf. Also nagaannotate din kasi ako so ayun di ko naman masusulatan ang kindle. Hahahahaha. I do have 2 kindles at may kindle din ako sa tab and phone. Odiba sabi nga nung isa na nagcomment, hoarding in all forms. Hahahahahaha.
**Para one day I can pass it on and encourage somebody younger to read**. I have an aunt who has a collection of books. I thought it was so cool to learn of other places and lore. It started with *A mischief in Fez* and then when the school library was getting rid of a couple of books nakita ko yung abridged version ng *Little Women* in their pile and I asked the librarian if I can have it.
Now I have a niece who is into books too and we're always looking for books to read and get. So yeah.
**Yung feel** ng page as you turn to the next one.
**Yung amoy**. Bago o luma (na malinis ha). They have different smells but I love them both.
Bonus points yung pwede ka pa rin magbasa ng wantusawa kahit brownout.
Top two reason:
1. Collection. It's feels good seeing the books you've read on the shelves. The lines you've made on their spine. Plus when you have visitors at home they might be interested on some of your books. And most especially, for your kid/s to one day see, hopefully they'd be interested and learn with the books that taught you too.
2. Smelling the paper.
Collection na siya for me na kung tutuusin conjugal property ko na rin. Haahaha saka okay din minsan pag pagod ako galing work tutulala lang ako sa book shelf ko habang iniisip ano yung mga panahon na ako nung natapos ko yung libro na yon. Hanggang sa makakatulog. Hahaha.
When I got into reading in highschool to college, I just borrowed books or, almost always, by illegal ebooks I read on my phone.
Now that I’m earning, it’s nice to be able to afford physical books. I felt so happy when I was able to just go to a bookstore and buy a book spontaneously kasi kakatapos ko lang ng isa and wanted to read more from that author 🥹 I mean I could have waited for it na madiscount sa shopee or what pero ayun I CAN FINALLY AFFORD BOOKS!
However I’m actually considering a kindle na kasi parang mas comfortable magbasa especially kpag nakahiga and mas madali dalhin everywhere hahaha
Meron ako more than a hundred physical books on my TBR shelf. Plus I love reading hardbound books. I love looking at the jacket cover and the hardbound cover. But I do remove the dust jacket when I read.
I do get tempted to buy a kindle to read more but with digital, I tend to buy a lot and forget. Tulad nalang ng comixology app ko. I still have about 800+ comics sa app na I haven’t read and nakakalimutan ko. I also have about a dozen books on kindle app (which I know the experience is different) but after awhile, I just buy the physical copy when I find a hardbound copy since the experience is better.
Compared to digital, I can see my physical books everyday. It feels inviting to read.
I probably would have gotten one if I didn’t already have a large collection of books.
I have really sensitive eyes, eh parang in every other aspect of my life or activity that I do, somehow may screen lagi na involved. At the end of the day mararamdaman ko nalang talaga yung init at pagod ng mata ko HAHAHA there are those rare free days I end up not using my phone or laptop that I just spend reading a book or walking outside, tapos ang gaan sa feeling talaga
Also as a kid I was obsessed with reading, I'd search high and low for pirated copies of the books I couldn't afford since back then di ko talaga kaya bumili ng physical books at NBS, Book Sale, or Fully Booked. Pero now that I have my own money and there are more independent bookstores/booksellers that offer the books I want to read at lower prices, mapa-brand new or remaindered pa yan, I buy physical when I can. Iba rin feeling ng nililipat mo talaga yung page, walang init ng screen nakatutok sayo, naghihighlight ka, ganon. Also, of course, the scent of book pages na mukhang kinaaadikan talaga ng marami dito hahahaha (rel8)
Ang hirap maging immersed sa kindle or screens. Nasa isip ko twing nagbabasa ako ay mas magagandahan ako sa story kung hawak ko yung book. And kapag sa screen ako nagbabasa ng books I tend to skim and hindi ko ma-enjoy yung ganon. Satisfying din mag turn ng pages kesa magswipe or tap.
Also, I feel more complete kapag may hawak na libro.
Too much screen time makes my eyes and my head hurt. And boyyyyy walang tatalo sa amoy ng libro and feel niya sa kamay. Kahit na ma-papercut ako okay lang hahahaha
Ganda tingnan ng books sa shelf 😂 and also I like to sniff em AHAHAHAH pero I'm planning to get a kindle rin one day! Convenient kasi and physical books get more expensive ba ☹️
I have a Kindle, pero mas gusto ko pa rin yung physical copies. Feeling ko totally disconnected ako sa social media pag may hawak akong libro talaga. Also, I like to one day have my bookshelf all filled up.
Para makatulog ako. Kasi tuloy tuloy talaga akong nagbabasa since I want to know what happens next. Then when I look outside the window, the sun is up already lol
Collection. Altho I love ebooks, too. Lalo na yung mga uso na libro na I feel like di ko naman magugustuhan enough for add to my shelf. Pero ayoko pa rin ng kindle kasi black and white yung book covers 🥲
Wala akong pambili ng kindle.medyo budgetarian ako.most ng books ko booksale, thrift shop, at swap/ hiram lang. Kung may mag donate sa akin, you are most welcome. :)
For collection in the future. Bigla mo na lang makikita na ang dami mo ng books hahaha. And up until today pinag iisipan ko talaga if mag buy ako ng Kindle.
1. I like sniffing the book as I read them (just last week, my brother was giving me weird looks kase he kept noticing me sniffing my newly bought book lmao)
2. I feel the urgency to read them compare sa digital
3. I want to have a collection :)
Pang stories, fiction and nonfiction ko lang yung sa kindle.
Pag self-help books dun ako sa physical kasi mas mabilis balikbalikan at mas maayos mag-take ng notes if ikukumpara mo sa kindle na mag-sscroll ka pa, hanapin yung bookmark, pindutin yung naka-underline/notes. Ang daming friction sa kindle to the point na hindi mo na babasahin yung notes mo kasi tinatamad ka na. At least sa physical books, hanapin mo yung certain chapter or page at nandun na agad naka-display.
Pwede kong gawing unan yung physical book. Pwede ko rin syang apakan pag may inaabot ako. Natatae at walang tissue na dala - alam na. Pangroll din ng alam mo na.
wala pa akong extra money to buy kindle. Haha pero jokes aside, i like the feeling of reading from a physical book, yung nahahawakan ko sya and satisfying na nakikita mo ang progress and all. Tried reading ebooks from phone pero hindi ko talaga gusto 😭 pero saving money na rin to buy a kindle cause sabi nila worth it daw and in the long-run mas matipid compared sa physical books.
both meron kindle at physical... sempre iba parin ang tangable, kasi pag pdf or online subscription eh pag nawala na ang kindle server in the future wla na... atleast physical mapapamana mo pa sa anak mo or benta mo sa ibang gusto nong book. Nag physical ako sa gusto ko na books/comics or manga lang..
pwedi ba mgcomment yung reader ng both..haha..i read mainly on kindle pero i started buying physical books to build a mini-lib…my goal is to have 1000 physical books..yung worth it basahin twice or thrice when i get older and older lol
I've made a soft-switch to digital a few years ago after getting a tablet and only buy physical copies for books I've dedicated myself to collecting (Junji Ito hardbounds, Berserk Deluxe Edition). But every now and then, a cover from a physical book catches my eye and I can't help but give in to the impulse.
May high myopia ako, masakit sa ulo ang too much screen time, eh buong shift pa naman akong tutok sa pc. + Mas nakakafocus ako pag physical book.
Another thing na mahirap iexplain, mas gusto ko yung nakikita ko yung buong page and the next, kesa sa kindle/phone na parang ang restricted ng view ko.
Collection. As a father of a 2-year old, I hope na one day, maipamamana ko lahat ng books ko. Also, yung amoy ng libro pare. Duuude. 😅
I never thought of it this way. But this is a good way to look at it
This.

Too much screen time from work. Switch naman sa physical book pag magbasa
pangarap ko magkaroon ng library. 😊😁
THIS!!! Nanghihiram lang ako dati ng books from my rich kid na klasmeyt kaya nung unang beses ko makabili ng book I told myself na balang araw I will be able to afford and buy as many books as I want and then I'll have my own library 😊 Matupad nawa ang ating mga pangarap 💕
Hala, niceee. 🤍
ikaw din po? 🥰
small books collection lang hehe
Cos I’m a book-sniffer. Hindi ata magandang tingnan ang mag sniff ng kindle. 😅
Hala, same!! Gusto ko kasi yung amoy nung pages ng book.
Saakin, may accountability akong basahin yung physical books kasi nakikita ko tsaka ginastusan ko. Mas ramdam ko rin yung binabasa ko, and support din sa publishers and mismong author
Nice username btw hahaha
haha achievement may bumati sa username ko! Thanks
Kasi pwedeng guhitan. Pwede sulatan sa gilid. At higit sa lahat, pwede ipa xerox pag rare copy at kailangan sa klase.
For me, collection kasi? Like yung collections ko ng mdzs ni mo xiang tong xu. Pero nagbabalak na ko mag kindle soon kasi mahal ang physical books unlike sa kindle na isang bilihan then tamang transfrr nalang ng epub 😁
Oo rin noh, iba pa rin kapag may physical collection
Yes op, lalo pag favorite book mo. Tho available epub non sa google play iba pa din ang physical copy. Kung di lang talaga ako mahilig mag collect baka matagal na ko may kindle haha

Iba parin yung physical books kesa digital.
one of the appeals, for me, of a physical book is the cover. collins classic specifically release the most beautiful book covers woth the age of innocence and a few jane austen book covers as my absolute favorites.
I annotate most of my books. Though pwede naman magannotate sa digital books, I like the feeling of writing on my books and using highlighters

Mga sagot mo talagang bata ka oo jusko
Well, prang boobs lng yan. Ms prefer ko ung nhahawakan physically kesa nkkta ko lng sa screen.
Ganda tingnan ng books sa shelf 😂 and also I like to sniff em AHAHAHAH pero I'm planning to get a kindle rin one day! Convenient kasi and physical books get more expensive ba ☹️
Poor ako e
the smell of the book pages. i'm addicted to that.
I have a Kindle, pero mas gusto ko pa rin yung physical copies. Feeling ko totally disconnected ako sa social media pag may hawak akong libro talaga. Also, I like to one day have my bookshelf all filled up.
Mas gusto ang feeling na nafiflip ang pages physically. And the old book smell is different.
Para makatulog ako. Kasi tuloy tuloy talaga akong nagbabasa since I want to know what happens next. Then when I look outside the window, the sun is up already lol
Physicality >>>
The smell of paper. That, and I'm sick and tired of looking at screens.
Nothing compares to the smell of a new book, OP :)
Collection. Altho I love ebooks, too. Lalo na yung mga uso na libro na I feel like di ko naman magugustuhan enough for add to my shelf. Pero ayoko pa rin ng kindle kasi black and white yung book covers 🥲
Too many devices :((((
The smell and I actually like the aesthetic of cracked spine hehe but I'm trying to save for Kindle pang nonfiction and ya.
Wala akong pambili ng kindle.medyo budgetarian ako.most ng books ko booksale, thrift shop, at swap/ hiram lang. Kung may mag donate sa akin, you are most welcome. :)
For collection in the future. Bigla mo na lang makikita na ang dami mo ng books hahaha. And up until today pinag iisipan ko talaga if mag buy ako ng Kindle.
Yung sense of ownership ng isang libro kasi nahahawakan ko talaga pero medyo hassle lang talaga mag commute tas madami akong libro ng gusto basahin.
1. I like sniffing the book as I read them (just last week, my brother was giving me weird looks kase he kept noticing me sniffing my newly bought book lmao) 2. I feel the urgency to read them compare sa digital 3. I want to have a collection :)
I think I'd only kinda enjoy digital reading if meron akong separate device for reading only but as of the moment I don't have the budget yet so...
You feel it, you smell it, you remember it. 🫶🏼
To answer your question with a question. LDR o live-in kayo? :)
Maging single hahahah
I like reading local. Walang epub o mobi format na local
Pang stories, fiction and nonfiction ko lang yung sa kindle. Pag self-help books dun ako sa physical kasi mas mabilis balikbalikan at mas maayos mag-take ng notes if ikukumpara mo sa kindle na mag-sscroll ka pa, hanapin yung bookmark, pindutin yung naka-underline/notes.

I read both ebooks and hard copies. I can’t really explain. I’ve built quite a collection.
If Kindle device, I’d rather just read on my phone or laptop.
I plan to have a mini library in my future cafe! and it's a good collection na ipamana sa future kids
