Christmas is just around the corner, and hopefully you've done most of your Christmas shopping. However, if you're lik me, you're probably still looking for gift ideas. Today, I'll be making a list of personal pros and cons of books and ereaders, which might give you an idea of whether or not you should get one for your mom or dad. And if you're still writing your Christmas list to Santa, perhaps that is something you could add on it.

Let me start by saying that I, like most people, am in love with the scent of a freshly bought book. Nothing smells better than opening a book for the first time and inhaling the delicious scent of the paper, the ink, and the beauty of the story – the latter might be harder, but you can still give it a try.

However, considering how expensive books are and how much space they take up in a book shelf or in your bag – because if you're like me, you probably carry a book everywhere you go – an eReader might just be the answer for you. It's a lot lighter, thinner, and not only are the books a lot less expensive, most of them have an integrated light to read in the dark. Doesn't that sound fantastic?
