Post 2: What is a book?

A book is an idea. Books have to come from ideas. Without even one single idea, books would not exist. One simple idea can turn into and amazing book. There is always a main idea in the book. If there wasn’t that idea, there wouldn’t be a book. I think it’s crazy how just one little idea can make a whole entire story. An idea opens your imagination to think of even more ideas that go in the book. Traits that many different books possess come from an idea by an author. So the ideas make the book, so isn’t a book an idea? In another sense, a book could be an adventure of an experience. A book can be an adventure because reading that book allows you to think of things you haven’t and may never do. A book can be an experience because you are learning things from that book. Like different themes, words, etc. To be completely honest, I don’t think a book can really be just one thing. I think a book is many different things, but overall books are amazing things. But if you were asked, what would you say a book is?

A big question is if reading actual books or reading on a device is better. My answer is, why does it matter? A book is a book right? Why does it matter what you read it on? You will be reading the same book, you will be reading the same words, whether it’s on a kindle, iPad or a book. What changes other than what object you’re using to read the book? If you ask yourself, what is the difference between reading the actual book or reading the book on a device, what would you say? I say that the differences are that the sizes of the pages could be different and the words could be different sizes. But what does that really affect? In my opinion, it affects nothing. I read actual books and books on devices and I like it both ways. To me it really doesn’t matter. But what would you think?
