Why Kindle is Recommended Over Other E-Books and Physical Books
Hello! I’m Maegami, the author of the blog “Megami no Maegami.” Fall is the perfect season for reading. What books are you currently enjoying? I’m still reading The Power of Language on my Kindle.

Thanks to Kindle, my bag is so much lighter!
Have you used Kindle, Amazon’s popular e-reader? I use it a lot, and it has made accessing countless books incredibly easy. Today, I’ll share why I recommend Kindle over other e-books and physical books.
A Book I Want to Read on Kindle – Walter Isaacson’s Autobiography
Unmatched Portability and Storage Convenience
One of Kindle’s greatest advantages is its ability to store hundreds of books on a single device. This means you can carry numerous books with you wherever you go. Carrying multiple physical books can be heavy and cumbersome, but Kindle remains lightweight and compact. It’s the perfect companion for commuting or traveling.
Speaking of which, I once accidentally left my Kindle on a Shinkansen train and had to retrieve it from Iidabashi. I’ve grown quite attached to it!
Economic Benefits
Kindle books are often cheaper than physical books since they don’t require paper. Amazon also frequently offers discounts and sales. Some classic books are available for as little as a few hundred yen, and there are plenty of free or discounted books available.
If you subscribe to Kindle Unlimited, you gain even greater access to thousands of titles. However, I personally don’t use it because it rarely includes the latest releases or books I truly want to read. Popular titles like Harry Potter are available, though.
Instant Access to Books
Another major advantage of Kindle is the ability to purchase and read books immediately. No need to visit a bookstore; just connect to the internet, download from the Kindle Store, and start reading within seconds.
Customizable Reading Experience
Kindle allows you to adjust font size, typeface, and background color to suit your preference. This is particularly beneficial for those with presbyopia or vision issues. Plus, it’s equipped with a blue light reduction feature, making reading easier on the eyes compared to tablets or other devices.
Personally, I prefer older Kindle models that resemble paper more closely, providing a comfortable reading experience.
Eco-Friendly Choice
Using Kindle reduces paper consumption, making it an environmentally friendly choice. Producing physical books requires wood, but with Kindle, you can download unlimited books without cutting down trees. Given the current climate crisis, switching to Kindle is a step toward sustainability.
Built-in Dictionary and Highlighting Features
If you’re aiming to improve your English skills, Kindle’s built-in dictionary is invaluable. You can instantly look up unfamiliar words, and the ability to highlight passages makes studying easier. Tasks that would be cumbersome with physical books are completed in seconds on Kindle.
Read in the Dark
Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Oasis come with built-in lights, enabling comfortable reading even in low-light conditions. This is perfect for bedtime reading without disturbing others.
Privacy in Public
Reading on Kindle means your book titles remain private. If you’re reading self-help books or other titles you might be shy about, Kindle is a discreet choice.
Conclusion
Kindle offers numerous benefits: it’s lightweight, economical, customizable, and eco-friendly. It’s ideal for avid readers who want to enjoy books on the go or save money. While physical books have their charm, considering the environmental impact, Kindle is undoubtedly a smart choice for modern readers.
