× Me personally, I'd prefer ebooks because ebooks is easy to store, that it won't take up many space in my room because, you know, in Hong Kong there's a lack of resources for the land.

✓ Me personally, I'd prefer ebooks because ebooks are easy to store, and they won't take up much space in my room because, you know, in Hong Kong there's a lack of resources for the land.

The word 'ebooks' is plural, so the verb should be 'are' instead of 'is' to agree in number. Also, 'many space' is incorrect because 'space' is an uncountable noun; it should be 'much space'. Additionally, 'that it won't' is awkward; 'and they won't' is clearer and grammatically correct.

× Actually, I don't read offline, so basically every time when I was reading, I'll read it online, but uh, talking about the time when I read, uh, it usually when I was, uh, fly, uh, when I was on the airplane or uh, in the transaction of taking public transportation.

✓ Actually, I don't read offline, so basically every time I read, I read it online. When I talk about the time I read, it is usually when I am flying, when I am on the airplane, or when I am taking public transportation.

The sentence mixes past and present tenses incorrectly. 'Every time when I was reading, I'll read' is inconsistent; 'every time I read, I read' is better. 'When I was fly' is incorrect; the correct form is 'when I am flying' to describe habitual actions. 'In the transaction of taking public transportation' is incorrect; it should be 'when I am taking public transportation'.

× When I talk about the time when I read, uh, it usually when I was, uh, fly, uh, when I was on the airplane or uh, in the transaction of taking public transportation.

✓ When I talk about the time I read, it is usually when I am flying, when I am on the airplane, or when I am taking public transportation.

The verb 'fly' should be in the present participle form 'flying' after 'when I am' to indicate ongoing action. Similarly, 'taking' is correct in 'taking public transportation'.

× Like I said before, I basically don't read offline, so umm yeah.

✓ Like I said before, I basically don't read offline, so umm, yeah.

No grammatical error related to singular/plural here; this sentence is acceptable as is. The comma after 'umm' improves clarity but is optional.

× Most of the time I read novels, uh, for entertainment, umm, but sometimes I read some umm, books about psychology or about umm, emotional boosting so that I can umm, get a good control of my, well, emotions.

✓ Most of the time I read novels for entertainment, but sometimes I read books about psychology or about emotional boosting so that I can get good control of my emotions.

The phrase 'get a good control of my emotions' is incorrect; 'get good control of my emotions' is the correct expression. Also, unnecessary filler words like 'umm' and 'uh' should be omitted for clarity.

× Umm, for me, the differences between umm, reading online or from the paper is definitely about uh, what I need to carry or how much I need to carry. Reading online doesn't uh, need me to take a physical book, umm, which is heavy when I was outside, like not in my house.

✓ For me, the difference between reading online and reading from paper is definitely about what I need to carry or how much I need to carry. Reading online doesn't require me to take a physical book, which is heavy when I am outside, like not in my house.

The phrase 'differences between reading online or from the paper' should be 'difference between reading online and reading from paper' for correct comparison. 'Doesn't need me to take' is incorrect; it should be 'doesn't require me to take'. Also, 'when I was outside' should be 'when I am outside' to indicate habitual action.
