Nowadays, many people think that e-books are more convenient to use for academics than textbooks. There are many advantages and drawbacks,

there are more advantages in comparison to the disadvantages. Usage of e-books can lead to spending more time on the internet which in turn results in eyestrain.

fact and manage their time efficiently. Another major disadvantage is the need to have desktops and laptops available for one and all, which might create extra costs to academic establishments, which in turn passes it off to the parents.

However

, I think e-books are highly essential to save the environment, and by reducing the usage of paper, there would be considerably less need for cutting down the forests and trees. Presently 70% of the trees are cut down to accommodate the large consumption of paper. With the increased usage of e-books,

this

percentage can be brought down by significant levels.

Secondly

, with the tech savvy young population, e-learning and e-books go hand in hand, as younger teenagers are more comfortable in reading e-books than buying and carrying hard copies.

Thirdly

, e-books will help school kids to carry lighter weight bags and protect them from back problems. I would like to mention here, a research study conducted on the weight of their backpacks, which revealed some interesting facts,

such

as, the majority of children having multiple back issues at a very young age. Based on

this study, many

Taking everything into consideration, I would say that e-books have more advantages and their usage not only preserves the environment, in the form of less consumption of paper, but it is

also

most preferred by the younger generation,

reducing back problems for the school going kids.
