Online reading and book reading have their own advantages and disadvantages. The following are some possible differences: 1. Ease: Online reading can be done anytime, anywhere. You only need a computer or mobile device to read novels on any website or app. Reading books, on the other hand, required time and money to purchase or borrow. 2. Diversity: The online reading platform provides a large number of novels, comics, games, and other content. You can choose the genre and theme that you are interested in. Book reading was even more limited. It usually only covered the works of a certain author or publishing house, and the content was often limited. 3. Interactivity: You can find relevant content through search engines and communicate with others through comments, likes, shares, etc. Reading books was more one-way. The readers could only obtain information through reading. 4. Access: Online reading platforms can reach readers all over the world, while book reading is limited by location and time. 5. Cost: Online reading is usually more economical than book reading. You only need to spend some data or electricity. Reading books required more money to buy or borrow. Online reading has the advantages of convenience, variety, interaction and cost, while book reading has the advantages of one-way, accessible and economical. The choice of reading style depended on one's personal needs and preferences.
