I read ebooks and I’ve enjoyed the switch. Of course many textbooks are more affordable and conversely, sometimes research tomes are better suited to the physical shelf.
So, why do I prefer ebooks (and Kindle preference here) is the light-weight tablets and easier physical reading process. As part of my disability, I often get cramped and inflamed wrists and my fingers and sometimes I can’t hold a physical book and turn the pages. Sometimes it’s even just the weight and size of most trade paperbacks that I can’t hold.
A Kindle tablet changed everything for me. I can read and best match to my needs that day. Also, Kindle have a VoiceView function under the “Accessibility” settings, so if I can’t hold a tablet or read a book easily, I can have my books ‘read to me’ with automatic page turning. Unfortunately, I found this only available on the Kindle tablet and not in the apps. So, I thought I’d let others know and ideally this accessibility feature will be made available on tablet apps as well as Kindle tablet itself.

Accessibility is one of an ebook’s best features. Resizing text, reshaping text, tap-to-turn page settings, bookmarking, etc., lead the charge in accessibility.
Of course, carrying an entire library of books surrounded by a lightweight, hand-sized gadget should count for something, too.
I think the audio option rounds out the accessibility features.
No conventional book offers these. Thank goodness for ebooks. -M
