Umm, definitely ebooks for me because these are more convenient to access because we could easily search up the names of the desire books on the Internet and we don't usually have to go all the way to physical stores to buy them. And also.

How is reading online different from paper?

× Umm, definitely ebooks for me because these are more convenient to access because we could easily search up the names of the desire books on the Internet and we don't usually have to go all the way to physical stores to buy them.
✓ Umm, definitely e-books for me because they are more convenient to access; we can easily look up the names of the desired books on the Internet and we usually do not have to go all the way to physical stores to buy them.
The original sentence misuses 'these' when referring to 'e-books' which is acceptable but 'they' is more natural; 'could' suggests conditional ability while 'can' expresses general ability; 'search up' is informal and 'look up' is correct; 'desire books' is incorrect adjective order/word choice—use 'desired books' or 'books I want'; use 'do not' for full form. Suggest breaking into shorter clauses for clarity.
× Every morning I tend to surf the Internet to browse the popular topics that are attending on it so that I can ensure that I am kept, umm, up to date with the current news.
✓ Every morning I tend to surf the Internet to browse popular topics that are trending on it so that I can ensure I stay up to date with current news.
'Attending on' is incorrect; use 'trending on' or 'popular on'. 'Browse the popular topics' should be 'browse popular topics'. 'Ensure that I am kept up to date' is wordy and uses passive voice; 'ensure I stay up to date' is clearer and active. Also remove redundant 'the' before 'current news'.
× So basically, I search for the international news.
✓ So basically, I search for international news.
'The international news' is acceptable but 'international news' without 'the' is more natural in this context. No '-ing' fix strictly needed here; change keeps sentence concise and idiomatic.
× Yes, obviously, mainly because of the emergence of digital development.
✓ Yes, obviously, mainly because of the development of digital technology.
'Emergence of digital development' is awkward; 'development of digital technology' is clearer. No modal error here; included because original phrase suggested future statements later; improved phrasing aligns with following sentence.
× I'm sure that there will be more devices related to reading online and also we could obtain more information online as there will be more organizations to publish them.
✓ I'm sure that there will be more devices for reading online, and we will also be able to obtain more information online as more organizations publish it.
Use 'will' for future predictions consistently rather than mixing 'will' and 'could'; 'could' implies possibility but here a confident prediction suits 'will' and 'will be able to'. 'Publish them' wrongly refers to 'information' with plural pronoun; use 'publish it' or 'publish information'. Also 'devices related to reading online' is better as 'devices for reading online'.
× I often read short articles, mostly because I have a short attention span to read long novels and other magazines.
✓ I often read short articles, mostly because I have a short attention span for reading long novels and magazines.
Use 'attention span for reading' rather than 'to read'; 'other magazines' is odd after 'long novels'—simply 'magazines' suffices. Also 'other' implies previously mentioned magazines.
× So I tend to grab a lightweight, uh, journalist or magazines for a fun and informative time reading.
✓ So I tend to choose light articles or magazines for a fun and informative reading experience.
'Lightweight journalist or magazines' is ungrammatical: 'journalist' is a person, not a thing to read. 'Light articles' or 'short articles' is the correct noun. 'Reading experience' is a natural collocation. Rewording fixes noun choice and structure.
× Personally, I believe that the texture of the paper offers a different feeling to that of online reading because we could physically scroll the pages and we could highlight them with notes and colorful pants, which creates a more, uh, creative.
✓ Personally, I believe that the texture of paper offers a different feeling than online reading because you can physically turn pages and highlight them with notes and colorful pens, which creates a more creative experience.
Several issues: 'that of online reading' is wordy—'than online reading' is clearer. 'We could' should be 'you can' or 'we can' depending on general statement; use 'can' for general ability. 'Scroll the pages' is for digital; for paper use 'turn pages'. 'Colorful pants' is a typo—should be 'pens'. Sentence ended with 'more, uh, creative' which is incomplete; add 'experience'.
