Question: What
is a book?
A book is an idea that you can see
your own way. A book poses many traits and things that everyone can interpret their
own way. Specific traits a book can possess are basic things like an idea, an
entertaining story. I agree with Joe Meno and what he says about books being a
place because it doesn’t matter if you read on an IPad or a kindle or a actual
book. I also agree on how he states that eBooks are just variations conforming
to our ever expanding society. I don’t agree with Nancy Jo Sales because why
does it matter if I can feel the book and smell it? I can get over hundreds of
books on my IPad and keep them on there I don’t think I could carry that many
books around at once. I don’t think that there is something magical about a
book I think you yourself make the book magical not what you read it on its
just a different device on which to read.
Question: Does
it matter how you read a book
To me it has no effect on what I read a book on
because I used to only read books Real books until about eight grade when my
mom begged me to change from reading books to reading on a kindle and finally I
decided to start using a kindle and what do you Know I loved it!!!!!! From that
day I still read on a kindle or my IPad. I don’t really think that it matters
to me anymore it’s just whatever is the most convenient for me. I say that
because I have a Unlimited amount of books I could get on my IPad but only a
limited number of actual books because of their weight.
I like this idea: "you yourself make the book magical not." I agree that it's all about the reader's experience, whether physical or digital. Good points about the convenience of Kindle reading.
ReplyDeleteI don't agree with the idea of the physicality of the book doesn't matter, but I can see where you are coming from. You like the content and the device does not matter as long as the content is what you want and is the same. I think whether you read from a physical book or a technologic device is your choice. I believe physical copy of the book can affect how you interpret the context because it can make you think one thing based on how it looks, feels, smells etc. vs. a digital copy just basically looks the same all the time and I think it is better not to be bias in that way.
ReplyDeletei disagree :(
