The advantages and disadvantages of the rising electronic books and the decline in paper books.

Coming a decrease in the number of paper books with increasing the number of e-books is believed to be a beneficial step forward by some people while this is not thought by others. Having more e-books would certainly be a good way of receiving information but there will also be some drawbacks.

Having more e-books than paper books is advantageous in some certain aspects. First and foremost, we will have great amount of convenience. To wit, we would be able to carry a number of e-books in a simple gadget. For instance, books could be placed in our little phones or computers that gives us much opportunity to use them wherever we need. Secondly, majority of people, especially students could afford more e-books than paper books because of their cost. Another fact is that, the more book production is, the more forest trees are being destroyed which makes e-books to be eco-friendly. The reason is that trees are used for making paper as well as book. Also, 153 billion gallons of water is consumed in order to produce books every year.

From an opposite angle, notwithstanding the advantages of the rise in the number of e-books there are some disadvantages too. The main demerit is that we might come across health problems. For instance, too much reading e-books has bad impact on our eye-sight which may lead to eye diseases such as Presbyopia, short-sighted disease. Also, by using small screen sizes there may appear headaches and problems with sleep. Another fact is that, while reading books from gadgets, readers may have digital distributions like notifications or alerts which can disrupt the attention of a reader. Paper books offer a unique reading experience which varies from reading on a screen.

Taking everything into consideration, although there are plenty of benefits in the rise of e-books, it does not mean that this decrease of paper books is apart from benefits, it’s all about preference. If people prefer convenience, unlimited options and ease the best choice is e-books. And if the feeling of holding books or the smell of books and the thrill of manually turning the pages of books then, there is no reason to avoid from traditional books.
