Accept space

,

which influences our life in all aspects. After the invention of e-books there has been a steady decline in the habit of reading paper books.

This

essay will discuss the positive and negative aspects of the rise in reading e-books. Let’s begin by looking at the advantages of reading electronic books. The main positive of reading from an

e-book

is that it is easy to handle. What I mean by

this

is carrying an

e-book

is a piece of cake, it does not take up much space in your bag and it’s light in weight, making it easily portable.

Secondly

, a single

e-book

can carry thousands of paper books at a time.

In other words

, the storage capacity of the technology is massive so digital copies of even a million books can be stored in a single gadget. The Amazon Kindle is a prime example, which is extremely popular with

this

generation, kindle makes is easy to download books from any corner of the world as it is directly connected to the internet. Turning to the other side of the argument, the individuals who read digital book are subjected to increasing stress on their eyes.

For instance

, prolonged staring at a monitor can cause irritation to the eyes that might cause migraine. The glare of the sun on the monitor makes it difficult for the reader,

thus

causing more pressure to the already burning eye. Another issue is that, people who read a digital copy of a book miss out the experience of reading as a whole. Reading is already a lonely task, the only human interaction

that is

involved in reading is going to a library or a bookstore and checking out or buying a book respectively. If

this

movement of

e-book

continues to climb, the people of the future will lose the human touch of reading. To conclude, portability and impressive storage capacity of the eBooks are in equal to the drawbacks

such

as health concerns and nil human interaction associated with digital reading.In

this

essay we have evaluated the advantages and disadvantage of the continuous rise of

e-book

compared to the rapid decline in paper books.
