Whether it\u2019s at a thrift shop, an estate sale, or a listing on an online share site you find yourself wrestling with the question \u2014 <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">Should I really buy another book<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\">? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Your shelves are full. Your online retailer wish list is ridiculous. You\u2019re comfortable with the reality that books stand in for end tables and plant stands and are your favorite accessory in home d\u00e9cor. Maybe it\u2019s just the opposite. You have kept your inventory of books to a minimum and do an outstanding job of having only as many books as shelves to house them.\u202f<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Either way, you must decide. Will you buy the book?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The Dilemma<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Part of your dilemma is you know full well that you could likely find the same title in e-book format. You wouldn\u2019t have to find space, it\u2019s probably available in less than three swipes, and the convenience of not having to manage another \u201cthing\u201d is attractive. Living in a world that has integrated so many digital options, we all face the tension between the advantages of printed books over e-books.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Leigh Bortins, Classical Conversations<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> founder, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jUH1r7fXs8A&amp;t=1097s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">has referred to herself as the \u201ckeeper of the books.\u201d<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> As a homeschool curriculum provider and bookseller, Classical Conversations feels strongly about paper books. We\u2019re not opposed to e-books, but we are committed to preserving the value of printed books. When deciding, we\u2019ll let the options land squarely in your lap and won\u2019t tilt our noses at your choice.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Remember, though, that one of the distinctives of the Classical Conversations experience and something that enriches local communities are the curriculum guides. Required resources for your community day, the Foundations Guide, the Essentials of the English Language Guide, and the Challenge guides are invaluable tools.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The Contenders<\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Each holds its own rather well in the e-books vs. printed books discussion. Any quick internet search with terms like \u201c<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">e-books vs. printed books\u201d\u202f <\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\">or \u201c<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">why are physical books better than e-books?\u201d <\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u202fyields thoughtful articles, pro\/con lists, and plenty of arguments. Topics range across portability, affordability, distractibility, academic performance, and inventory management. No matter how you approach it, you\u2019ll have no shortage of issues regarding the discussion of e-books vs. books!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The Reasons<\/h2>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">F<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">ollowing are three reasons why you might determine physical books are better than e-books.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>1. Ownership<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">This point is essential to the next reason, but it stands well enough on its own. When you purchase an e-book, you only buy the license to read the content. E-books do not have a clear path of ownership, and even the retailer who sells the book doesn\u2019t own it; rather, the publisher has its own licensing agreement with its agents. Even in the case of a Classical Conversations digital resource like the\u202f<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/classicalconversationsbooks.com\/products\/essentials-fifth-edition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Essentials of the English Language guide<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">, although members can access it on the new CC Connected, it is not yours to keep, personalize, or own once your student finishes their Essentials tours.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>2. Annotation<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">You can write all over a real book! You can highlight, doodle, cross reference, outright disagree, or put as many exclamation points as you\u2019d like next to parts you love. Sure, there are often virtual annotation tools included in e-books. Still, you are limited to what the software allows compared to the endless ways you can personalize your real books.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>3. Attention<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">One of the <a href=\"https:\/\/classicalconversations.com\/blog\/five-core-habits-of-grammar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Five Core Habits<\/a><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">, the skill of attending is far more potent when reading a physical book. A paper book will more likely train you in the skill of deeper reading. E-books, on the other hand, permit too many distractions and tempt your focus away from the text. A paper book encourages slower processing and offers physical cues through page-turning combined with the weight of holding the book, larger pages, no links, and concentrated singular lines of thought.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Which Are Better, E-books or Books?<\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Surely you can think of other reasons, some rooted in personal preference and others nested in research, why in the e-books vs. books discussion, \u201creal books\u201d come out on top. Remember, Classical Conversations is not against e-books! But we do hope you\u2019ll be convinced in this discussion \u2014 yes, buy the book!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Not yet a Classical Conversations member and interested in our community-based approach to homeschooling?
