In recent years, more and more people are choosing to read e-books . do the advantage outweigh the disadvantage.

With the advent of the internet, the ways of learning have been revolutionized quite drastically.

As a result

, traditional paper-based books have been replaced with modern e-books. Despite a few negative impacts of

this

trend, the overall advantages clearly surpass the shortcomings, and

this

script will provide the reasons for it. There are many reasons, if you ask me, why

this

situation has advantages. In the

first

place, it is convenient. Accessing readings on screens is instant. Readers can

also

view a book page on full screen or show two pages side by side. They

also

can highlight the parts for later review. E-reading devices

such

as Kindles and Nooks are two examples which come to mind.

In contrast

, hard copies are inconvenient to carry around.

For instance

, people who enjoy reading only can bring limited books on a trip. Unlike e-readers, where they can read as many as they want from one device. Added to

this

, it saves money. There are many e-books that can be downloaded at a cheaper price or freely while printed ones are often expensive because it involves many publication costs.

Hence

,

this

piece of technology has totally changed the way of learning. Be that as it may,

however

, the downsides of

this

development, as far as I can see, are just as big. For one thing, it impacts our health. Screens can damage our eyesight if we spend too much time on them. It is not good for our eyes over long periods. Not only that but using electronic devices like Kindles before going to bed can disrupt the quality of our sleep. Physical ones do not have these problems. Turning to my own experience, the way things are when it comes to

this

matter in my country, China, is the same as it was across the world over. My home city of Lanzhou is a classic case in point. Here, many young people read articles and news on devices like smartphones or laptops while seniors prefer printed ones. It gives a more fulfilling reading experience which connects the reader to the book. At the end of the day, there are positives and negatives to all choices we make in life, as individuals and as a society. It is undoubtedly true that e-books have mitigated the need for paper-based books. Even though certain drawbacks are often attached to it, the benefits are way superior.

Furthermore

,

this

facility has boosted our pace of learning by making the content available to everyone.
