Sample Answer
While I appreciate the convenience of e-books, I find myself gravitating towards traditional books for several reasons. Firstly, the tactile experience of turning pages and the distinct smell of paper provide a sensory richness that e-readers cannot replicate. Furthermore, traditional books allow for a respite from screen time, which is particularly valuable in our digital age where our eyes are constantly bombarded by screens. Additionally, I enjoy the aesthetics of a well-stocked bookshelf, which serves not only as a functional collection of literature but also as a decorative element in my living space. However, I do acknowledge that e-books offer unparalleled portability and ease of access, particularly for avid readers who travel frequently. Ultimately, my preference is shaped by a desire for a more immersive reading experience, which I believe traditional books inherently provide.
