Perhaps a better question would be whether television is better than a book. The two are very different ways of delivering information to us.

An avid book reader will tell you that a good novel can take you to places in your imagination that television or movies can never achieve. Books can be read at any pace, they'll be waiting whenever you get back to them and if it's a text book, you can read sections over and over again, whenever you want to.

Television, on the other hand can give us lots more information with pictures and sound. A novel that might take days or weeks to read can be encapsulated into a two hour movie. We don't need to focus on television in quite the same way as we do when reading a book. It's far more passive than reading and that can be a good thing sometimes. Television delivers instant news and events, live coverage of sport, concerts, politics, wars and more, from anywhere in the world. A book is never as fast.

Each have their own benefits and opinion will be divided between "TV is better" and "books are better". Whichever is your preference, enjoy it but always embrace both.

How is reading books batter then watchin teleivision?

Reading helps you to become a better speller (so you won't misspell "television" and "better" and "than"). It also challenges your mind, whereas all the facts are given to you when watching TV. You can also read books to expand your vocabulary and better your reading and comprehension skills for when you get a job that requires reading and fulfilling tasks that are written for you. I hope that helps.
