× Well, in my opinion, I'd prefer ebooks over the paper books because I think using ebooks is more flexible and convenient option.
✓ Well, in my opinion, I'd prefer ebooks over paper books because I think using ebooks is a more flexible and convenient option.
The definite article 'the' is incorrectly used before 'paper books' and 'convenient option'. 'Paper books' is a general category and does not require 'the'. Also, 'a' is needed before 'more flexible and convenient option' because it is a singular countable noun phrase.
× Uh, like I can open up my laptop or tablet and access ebooks anytime anywhere.
✓ Uh, like I can open up my laptop or tablet and access ebooks anytime, anywhere.
A comma is needed between 'anytime' and 'anywhere' to separate the two adverbs properly for clarity.
× So I think I'd prefer ebooks over the paper books since they're difficult to carry and handle.
✓ So I think I'd prefer ebooks over paper books since they're difficult to carry and handle.
The definite article 'the' is unnecessary before 'paper books' when referring to the general category.
× Well, very often I read a lot online because I think in my daily routine life I have to refer different sales tax and income tax sections, and I just download the PDF for that from the FBI's website.
✓ Well, very often I read a lot online because I think in my daily routine I have to refer to different sales tax and income tax sections, and I just download the PDF for that from the FBI's website.
The verb 'refer' requires the preposition 'to' when indicating the object being referred to.
× And I refer that because it's better to use the online material rather than searching from the books.
✓ And I refer to that because it's better to use online material rather than searching in books.
The verb 'refer' should be followed by 'to that'. Also, 'the online material' and 'the books' are better expressed without 'the' when speaking generally. 'Searching from' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'in'.
× Well yes, in my opinion I read more online in the future because currently I'm also referring to ebooks and online material.
✓ Well yes, in my opinion I will read more online in the future because currently I'm also referring to ebooks and online material.
The sentence talks about a future action, so the future tense 'will read' is appropriate instead of the present tense 'read'.
× And in future I'd also focus on online reading more rather than paper book.
✓ And in the future I'd also focus on online reading more rather than paper books.
The phrase 'in future' should be 'in the future'. Also, 'paper book' should be plural 'paper books' to match the context.
× I've just download the PDF from the Internet and used to refer to them online.
✓ I've just downloaded the PDF from the Internet and used to refer to them online.
The present perfect tense requires the past participle form 'downloaded' instead of the base form 'download'.
× I've just download the PDF from the Internet and used to refer to them online.
✓ I've just downloaded the PDF from the Internet and used to refer to them online.
The phrase 'used to refer to them online' is awkward; it would be better as 'and I refer to them online' or 'and I use them for reference online.' However, since the instruction is to correct only grammar mistakes listed, this is acceptable.
× Well, online reading is significantly different from paper because you just have to have your laptop or tablet with you to access the ebooks or online material.
✓ Well, online reading is significantly different from paper because you just have to have your laptop or tablet with you to access ebooks or online material.
The definite article 'the' is unnecessary before 'ebooks' when speaking generally.
× Also, uh, like online material could be highlighted easily with the help of a highlighter on the screen as compared to the uh paper book which need a physical like.
✓ Also, uh, like online material can be highlighted easily with the help of a highlighter on the screen as compared to a paper book which needs a physical one.
'The uh paper book' should be 'a paper book' because it is a general noun. 'Need' should be 'needs' to agree with singular subject 'paper book'. 'Like' at the end is incomplete and should be replaced with 'one' to complete the comparison.
