How is reading online different from paper?

Is different because in paper reading you have to carry the book and keep the book with yourself and as compared to online reading you can just open up anytime you want on your mobile or tablet. So it's like the difference is convenience and flexibility I'd say.
Which do you prefer, e-books or paper books?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: Be more concise and avoid fillers (uh). Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one specific reason with a short example. Use linking words like 'because' and 'for example' to improve coherence.
Example: I prefer e-books to paper books because they are more convenient. For example, I can open an e-book instantly on my laptop or tablet when I need to look something up, so I don't have to carry heavy books around.
When do you usually read online?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: Give a direct topic sentence, reduce repetition, and add a specific routine or frequency. Use linking words like 'because' and 'so' to connect reason and result.
Example: I usually read online during work hours because my job involves auditing taxpayers and I often need to consult sales tax sections. So I read online documents and regulations several times a week to stay up to date.

× I prefer to use ebooks rather than paper books because I think they are more convenient and flexible. And uh, I can open at my in my laptop or my tablet easily without bothering.
✓ I prefer using e-books rather than paper books because I think they are more convenient and flexible. I can open them on my laptop or tablet easily without any hassle.
Use of 'prefer' is commonly followed by a gerund (verb + -ing) when speaking about general preferences; 'prefer to use' is not wrong but 'prefer using' is more natural. 'Open at my in my laptop' is incorrect preposition and word order; use 'open them on my laptop or tablet'. 'Without bothering' is unnatural; 'without any hassle' is clearer.
× Well, mostly I read online because my nature of work is doing audit of different taxpayer and I have to read the sales tax sections.
✓ Well, I mostly read online because my work involves auditing different taxpayers and I have to read the sales tax sections.
Incorrect verb form and awkward phrasing: 'my nature of work is doing audit of' is incorrect. Use present simple 'involves auditing' to describe regular duties. 'Taxpayer' should be plural 'taxpayers' (singular/plural issue).
× Therefore I use I prefer to read online rather than referring a book.
✓ Therefore I prefer to read online rather than refer to a book.
Redundant 'I use I prefer' and incorrect verb pattern 'referring a book'—use 'refer to a book'. Also removed unnecessary 'use' and fixed structure to 'prefer to read... rather than refer to...'.
× Yes, definitely, because I find it really faster and convenient to read online rather than carrying, uh, paper books and referring them because already I'm much reliant on online books.
✓ Yes, definitely, because I find it much faster and more convenient to read online than to carry paper books and consult them, since I am already very reliant on online books.
Article and adjective issues: 'really faster and convenient' is ungrammatical—use 'much faster and more convenient'. 'Carrying, paper books and referring them' should be 'to carry paper books and consult them'. 'Already I'm much reliant' is awkward; use 'I am already very reliant'.
× Therefore in future I'll be focusing on on reading more. Definitely.
✓ Therefore in the future I'll focus more on reading.
Redundant 'be focusing on on' and odd word order. For planned future action 'I'll focus more on reading' is natural. Added 'the' before 'future'.
× Well, I like to read different kind of novels such as motivational novel.
✓ Well, I like to read different kinds of novels, such as motivational novels.
'Different kind of' should be 'different kinds of' or 'a different kind of'. 'Motivational novel' should be plural to match 'different kinds of novels'.
× Uh, one of the, uh, novel I read recently was uh, Mark Manson subtle out of not giving a ****.
✓ One of the novels I read recently was Mark Manson's 'The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck'.
Article and possessive errors: 'one of the novel' should be 'one of the novels'. Use possessive 'Mark Manson's'. Also corrected book title and added article where needed.
× And also I read different kind of articles on information AI and technological development.
✓ I also read different kinds of articles on information technology, AI, and technological developments.
Preposition and noun choice: 'on information AI' is incorrect; use 'on information technology, AI'. 'Technological development' better as plural 'developments' when speaking generally. Also 'different kind' -> 'different kinds'.
× Is different because in paper reading you have to carry the book and keep the book with yourself and as compared to online reading you can just open up anytime you want on your mobile or tablet.
✓ It's different because when reading on paper you have to carry the book with you, whereas with online reading you can open it anytime on your mobile or tablet.
Sentence structure and pronoun issues: Missing subject 'It's different'. 'In paper reading' should be 'when reading on paper'. 'Keep the book with yourself' is awkward—use 'carry the book with you'. 'As compared to' should be 'whereas' for contrast. 'Open up anytime you want on your mobile' -> 'open it anytime on your mobile'.
