I was thinking about this this morning.

And, I dont know – If you asked me to choose – I couldnt, to be honest!

When we FIRST started this site given the trend and given the way the “world in general” is going, I only had a digital option available.

Seems SO long ago, especially when I first sold off rahulmookerjee.com, then 0excusesfitness.com.

NOSTALGIA!!

I still remember them days, waking up, eagerly checking the sales etc ..

(not that I don’t now, but back then I just started!)

But then down the line, in fact a couple of years ago I believe, it was that “recent”, I realized one thing.

Though I hadn’t thought of it before – – there were a lot, I repeat a lot of people ordering paperbacks off Amazon and such!

This struck me as odd as I thought “most of the world was going digital” which in many ways it is, of course.

But I realized one thing – there is still a very substantial number of people out there that are “Dinos” and love paperbacks as much as I do.

I love ebooks too – so if you were to ask me pros and cons of each?

I dont know – lets talk paperbacks first!

First, paperbacks are unique in you can touch ’em – feel ’em – hold ’em – that sensation of holding a dog eared book, getting it out of the bookcase, having it by you, “smelling the pages” occasionally (an odd habit I had since childhood, and one that never ever left me apparently!) – and much, much more!

They’re old fashioned – and how it used to be. Another kudo!

They can be autographed! A lot of the recent Fast and Furious Fitness – The Collector’s Item were!

And, I dont know – nothing to me beats the sensation of “holding a book in you rhands” if you get my drift??

Most importantly, these books stand the test of TIME in many ways.

Ever think about what will happen to this website – or yours – once we “pass on” ?

Ditto for the ebooks on your computer?

But physical books, now thats a different story!

Cons – I dont know, other than space required to keep ’em, other than the fact you have to “pack them in your suitcase every time you move” (big issue for me!) … none really.

Now, ebooks!

Despite paperbacks being special in many ways, so are e-books – to me at least.

Obviously no storage space required, and so long as Winblows and your HDD etc keeps up, and even if it doesn’t, your cloud storage which everyone these days must have anyway will …

And most of my favorite books – in fact, the majority?

Oddly enough, they are all in ebook format!

Not all, but most.

And I often flip one open on the computer at random and start reading.

Ebooks are also extra special for you Kindle owners I’d think, the Kindle ecosystem is “one unto it’s own” that Amazon created, and they did a great job as usual.

Easy to pass on, compatible between systems i.e. Windoze, Linux, Apple etc ..

Cons?

Again, I can’t see many, to be honest!

Maybe one con is they sometimes tend to “sit” on your computer and you don’t read ’em so much, but I’ve found this NOT to apply to those who get ebooks from me i.e. the DOERS.

(and another pro for ebooks – instant download).

And the other thing some people have said i.e. those that buy physical books tend to be more “solid” long term customers if you get my drift.

Now, this might be and probably is true for the vast bulk of industries out there.

But again, yours truly isn’t the vast bulk.

Yours truly is as different as can be.

And I attract DOERS!

Some of my most loyal and recurring customers prefer – you got it – ebooks!

So, I dont know – take with this info what you’ll do with it of course.

End of the day, it all boils down to personal preference!

If I had to choose!

I must confess I dont know, hehe.

What I don’t quite like is audio books – do you any of you like those? Let me know, and if enough do, I’ll get on Audible or something too in the future!

And that, my friend is that.

Pick up a product or two here …. and if you’re new to us, well, I’d recommend starting with the baseline; The Rolls Royce of Fitness right HERE.

Once you get on that, you can never go wrong if you get my drift.

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee
