저는 uses the topic particle 는, which marks me as the topic: as for me or speaking for myself.

In this sentence, the speaker is talking about their own reading habits, so 저는 sounds very natural.

If you said 제가, it would put more focus on I as the subject, often with a nuance like I (as opposed to someone else) or I am the one who.... That is possible in some contexts, but 저는 is the more neutral choice here.

요즘 means these days or lately.

It usually appears near the beginning of the sentence because it sets the time frame for the whole statement. Korean often puts time expressions early in the sentence.

So:

저는 요즘 종이책보다 전자책을 더 자주 읽어요.
= As for me, these days, I read e-books more often than paper books.

You could move 요즘 in some cases, but this position is very natural.

Here, 보다 means than in a comparison.

So:

• 종이책보다 = than paper books
• 전자책을 더 자주 읽어요 = I read e-books more often

Together, it means: I read e-books more often than paper books.

A very common pattern is:

A보다 B를 더 + adjective/verb
= more B than A

Examples:

• 커피보다 차를 더 좋아해요. = I like tea more than coffee.
• 어제보다 오늘이 더 추워요. = Today is colder than yesterday.

더 means more, and it commonly appears with 보다.

So the pair works like this:

• A보다 = than A
• 더 = more

In English, we usually need both parts too:

• more often than
• more expensive than
• more interesting than

In Korean, 더 is sometimes omitted if the comparison is already obvious from context, but including it is very normal and usually sounds more complete.

So 종이책보다 전자책을 더 자주 읽어요 is the most natural standard form.

Because 전자책 is the object of the verb 읽어요 (read), so it takes the object particle 을.

• 전자책을 읽어요 = read e-books

But 종이책보다 is not the object. It is the comparison phrase:

• 종이책보다 = than paper books

So the structure is:

• 종이책보다 = comparison base
• 전자책을 = object
• 더 자주 읽어요 = read more often

That is why only 전자책 takes 을.

자주 means often or frequently.

It is an adverb, and it modifies the verb 읽어요 (read).
So 더 자주 읽어요 means read more often.

Compare:

• 읽어요 = read
• 자주 읽어요 = read often
• 더 자주 읽어요 = read more often

In this sentence, the comparison is about frequency, not about liking or ability.

Korean and English organize sentences differently.

English:

• I read e-books more often than paper books these days.

Korean is typically Subject/Topic + Time + Comparison + Object + Adverb + Verb:

• 저는 = as for me
• 요즘 = these days
• 종이책보다 = than paper books
• 전자책을 = e-books
• 더 자주 = more often
• 읽어요 = read

The verb usually comes at the end in Korean. That is one of the biggest word-order differences English speakers notice.

읽어요 is the polite informal style, sometimes called the 해요-style. It is very common in everyday conversation.

Here are the rough differences:

• 읽어: casual, used with close friends, younger people, children
• 읽어요: polite and natural for everyday use
• 읽습니다: formal, often used in presentations, news, announcements, or very formal situations

So 읽어요 is a very normal choice for a neutral polite sentence.

Yes. These are compound nouns.

• 종이 = paper
• 책 = book
• 종이책 = paper book / physical book

And:

• 전자 = electronic
• 책 = book
• 전자책 = e-book / electronic book

Korean often combines nouns like this to make new words, similar to English compounds like paperbook or e-book, though English does not use exactly the same forms.

Yes, very often.

Korean frequently drops subjects and topics when they are understood from context. So if it is already clear that you are talking about yourself, you could simply say:

요즘 종이책보다 전자책을 더 자주 읽어요.

This still sounds perfectly natural and often more conversational.

Including 저는 can make the sentence feel a little clearer or more contrastive, especially if you are comparing your habits with someone else’s.

Not necessarily.

The sentence specifically says the speaker reads e-books more often than paper books these days. That is about behavior or frequency.

It does not automatically mean:

• I like e-books more
• I think e-books are better
• I only read e-books

It only tells us that, lately, e-books are the one they read more frequently.

Yes, it often does.

요즘 means these days or lately, so it suggests a current trend or recent habit, not necessarily a permanent one.

So the sentence can imply something like:

• Recently, I’ve been reading e-books more often than paper books.

That leaves open the possibility that in the past, or in the future, the person might read paper books more.
