With the rise in e-books comes the decline in paper books. Some people see this as a good step forward while others do not. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this trend?

Nowadays, some people prefer to read e-books
instead
of reading printed books. In my opinion, reading e-books
is

are
more advantageous than reading
paper
based books.
Firstly
, if you prefer to read on your mobile devices, laptops or other
hand-held
small and light enough to be operated while you hold it in your hands
handheld
devices, you can read books everywhere.
Moreover
, you do not have to carry books in your bag.
Secondly
, some publishing companies have not chosen to publish the
paper
based recently because they think the production of paperback books is more expensive than the e-book version.
Therefore
, the prices of e-books are cheaper than the price of
paper
books. For
this
reason, particularly University students opt to purchase e-books.
Finally
, e-books are easier to purchase and with the facility of online purchase, anyone gets an ebook whenever s/he wants. It was environment-friendly as it requires no papers, ink and saves the trees that would have been used to produce

paper
.
On the Other hand
, many excellent books have been published only on
paper
based.
Thus
, if you would like to read them on your mobile devices, unfortunately, you could not avail them.
In addition
, many old books are not published any longer even
paper
based. You can find them only in the library.
For example
, in my University years, I had to read a book
that is
about business history and I wanted to read it on my iPhone. I searched it on the
internet but

internet, but
I could not find it even in
paper
based. So I had to go to the library and I could find it in there. In conclusion, even if some books are published only
paper
based and sometimes it is tough to find e-books version and in my view, reading e-books are more advantageous than reading
paper
books.
Furthermore
, I would argue that day today the popularity of e-books will increase.
