or newspapers since they will have digital access, thanks to the internet, to the same content for free. I strongly agree with
this

assertion for two reasons which I will elucidate
further

in the passage.
First
Linking Words
of all, one of the major reasons for shifting to electronic
media
Use synonyms
is that in the future
books

and newspapers are going to be expensive. The reason is deforestation and converting agricultural land into residential property due to which processing trees into paper will become expensive as the number of trees will decrease.
For example

, the cost of a newspaper in India in the year 2015 is 2 Rupees which becomes 10 Rupees in 2022 due to the decline in forest land.
Similarly

, the cost of

is

increasing day by day, while the price of internet packs are decreasing on regular basis.
Thus

.
Furthermore

have weight and they can not be carried everywhere, while their digital versions can be accessed through smartphones which can fit easily inside the pocket. Electronic

provides flexibility in a sense as they can be surfed anytime and anywhere.
For instance
