00:00:00,143 --> 00:00:07,248
Today we will talk about the similarities and differences between regular (paper) and digital (e-) books.

2
00:00:07,248 --> 00:00:10,657
What kind of books do you prefer?

3
00:00:10,657 --> 00:00:12,594
Write to me in the comments.

4
00:00:12,594 --> 00:00:17,996
Let's talk about their similarities and differences.

5
00:00:17,996 --> 00:00:23,369
Paper books are often heavier than electronic ones.

6
00:00:23,369 --> 00:00:29,121
I have a scale. Let's weigh the paper book.

7
00:00:29,121 --> 00:00:34,731
This book weighs 582 grams.

8
00:00:34,731 --> 00:00:37,515
What about the electronic one?

9
00:00:38,098 --> 00:00:45,369
With the case, the e-book weighs 348 grams.

10
00:00:45,369 --> 00:00:54,155
Of course, paper books come in different sizes. Different weights, different sizes.

11
00:00:54,155 --> 00:01:10,179
However, if you, for example, are travelling to work on the train and want to be able to change the book you are currently reading, then an electronic book may be a more convenient option for this scenario.

12
00:01:10,179 --> 00:01:19,277
Many people really like the smell of paper books, they like to turn the pages.

13
00:01:19,277 --> 00:01:23,497
It is actually very pleasant.

14
00:01:23,497 --> 00:01:30,790
Here, the paper shimmers, it is as if it were glossy.

15
00:01:30,790 --> 00:01:38,175
This book is very colourful; it could be a gift edition.

16
00:01:38,175 --> 00:01:41,611
It looks expensive.

17
00:01:41,611 --> 00:01:45,335
Let's see where this book was printed.

18
00:01:45,335 --> 00:01:56,639
In the corner of the page (in the lower right corner of the page) it says that this book was printed in Moscow in 2016.

19
00:01:56,639 --> 00:02:02,093
I bought this book a few years ago in Moldova.

20
00:02:02,093 --> 00:02:07,257
As you can see, it was imported from Russia to Moldova.

21
00:02:07,257 --> 00:02:16,093
The company that imported the book is called "Mold Press Group SRL".

22
00:02:16,093 --> 00:02:19,942
The price is 210 Moldovan lei.

23
00:02:19,942 --> 00:02:26,963
This book is already a few years old, and unfortunately, the gilding has worn off the letters on the cover.

24
00:02:26,963 --> 00:02:33,956
You can see it on the letters "M" in the lower right corner, and "H" in the lower left corner.

25
00:02:33,956 --> 00:02:37,918
Now let's talk about the e-book.

26
00:02:37,918 --> 00:02:41,819
Of course, e-books cost much more than paper ones.

27
00:02:41,819 --> 00:02:45,797
First of all, you need to buy the device itself.

28
00:02:45,797 --> 00:02:51,093
Then, many people, like me, buy a case for the e-book.

29
00:02:51,093 --> 00:02:56,293
My case is blue and it is made of denim.

30
00:02:56,293 --> 00:03:00,041
Its special feature is that it is magnetic.

31
00:03:00,041 --> 00:03:08,030
When I open it, my e-book (my Kindle, my e-reader) turns on.

32
00:03:08,030 --> 00:03:13,351
When I close it, the e-book goes into sleep mode.

33
00:03:13,351 --> 00:03:18,363
You can tell by the picture changing.

34
00:03:18,363 --> 00:03:25,808
You need to buy not only the device itself, in my case a Kindle, but also a book.

35
00:03:25,808 --> 00:03:32,503
The book I'm reading now is called "The Godfather."

36
00:03:32,503 --> 00:03:37,358
Let me show you how to turn pages on an e-book.

37
00:03:37,358 --> 00:03:41,512
There are several ways.

38
00:03:41,512 --> 00:03:46,179
The fastest way is to touch the right side of the screen.

39
00:03:46,179 --> 00:03:48,002
Once.

40
00:03:48,002 --> 00:03:57,637
To go to the previous page (return to the previous page), you need to press the left side of the screen.

41
00:03:57,637 --> 00:04:02,104
Another way is to swipe your finger from right to left.

42
00:04:02,104 --> 00:04:12,875
In this way, we imitate the natural movement, as if I were turning a paper page, from right to left.

43
00:04:12,875 --> 00:04:24,003
This way we get to a new page, or we can return to the previous page from left to right.

44
00:04:24,003 --> 00:04:28,271
A paper book does not have a backlight.

45
00:04:28,271 --> 00:04:31,724
An e-book often does.

46
00:04:31,724 --> 00:04:39,056
In modern e-books, you can often find a backlight function.

47
00:04:39,056 --> 00:04:42,526
I can change the brightness of the screen.

48
00:04:42,526 --> 00:04:45,578
Now the brightness is at zero.

49
00:04:45,578 --> 00:04:52,165
The brightness is at zero, but I can press on the "plus".

50
00:04:52,165 --> 00:04:56,110
Now the brightness is at level 1.

51
00:04:56,110 --> 00:04:59,480
You can also change the colour temperature.

52
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:07,209
To begin with, I will set the brightness to level 16, and now I will play with the temperature.

53
00:05:07,209 --> 00:05:17,467
At level 24, you can see a more yellow colour, and now I will gradually make it colder.

54
00:05:17,467 --> 00:05:23,679
This way the light is cold... that way the light is warm.

55
00:05:23,679 --> 00:05:27,375
The higher the brightness, the more visible the difference.

56
00:05:43,610 --> 00:05:57,759
To remember where you stopped, you can put a bookmark in a paper book (some object, for example, some card).

57
00:05:57,759 --> 00:06:00,913
You can use it as a bookmark.

58
00:06:00,913 --> 00:06:05,835
There are also bookmarks in an e-book, but they work differently.

59
00:06:05,835 --> 00:06:09,485
You need to press and select the function.

60
00:06:09,485 --> 00:06:15,495
I see several buttons in the upper right corner of the screen.

61
00:06:15,495 --> 00:06:21,095
If I press the plus, I will get a bookmark.

62
00:06:24,774 --> 00:06:32,227
There is no bookmark on the previous page, there is a bookmark on this page, and there is none on the next one either.

63
00:06:32,227 --> 00:06:37,228
Do you use bookmarks, do you like to read?

64
00:06:37,228 --> 00:06:44,127
If you use an e-book, you can use the built-in dictionaries.

65
00:06:44,127 --> 00:06:54,104
For example, I click on the word "other"... and I get to the explanatory dictionary of the Russian language.

66
00:06:54,104 --> 00:07:06,917
Another, here I see the word accent, the explanation of this word, here it says "not this, not this" (synonyms). There is an example of use -

67
00:07:06,917 --> 00:07:09,311
"(To) go to another room".

68
00:07:09,311 --> 00:07:14,413
I can scroll down or go back to the top.

69
00:07:14,413 --> 00:07:22,396
I can also click on the dictionary and change it to, for example, Wikipedia.

70
00:07:22,396 --> 00:07:28,146
Or I can click on the dictionary name and choose another dictionary.

71
00:07:28,146 --> 00:07:46,886
I learn many languages, so I have an English dictionary, a German dictionary, a Japanese dictionary, and also Italian and even French, although I don't learn French, but I learn all the other languages.

72
00:07:46,886 --> 00:07:57,328
I'm a little weary, I'm not in the mood to read right now, so I'll click this button to turn my e-reader off.

73
00:07:57,328 --> 00:08:01,612
This way it goes into sleep mode.

74
00:08:01,612 --> 00:08:04,653
I close the cover.

75
00:08:04,653 --> 00:08:17,295
When I'm bored and in the mood to read, I'll open the e-reader again and continue reading from where I left off.

76
00:08:17,295 --> 00:08:19,713
What book are you reading?

77
00:08:19,713 --> 00:08:22,166
In what language?
