this
 statement to a certain extent as the popularity of book readings do get affected ever since the invention of the

Secondly
, searching for
information
 from textbooks is time-consuming.
Instead
 of scavenging for a particular book in a library,
people
 could just spend a few seconds entering keywords on the

 via

thus
 the popularity of using textbooks as a source of

 diminishes.
However
, paper-based
books
 might be less popular but many

 still enjoy reading electronic

 are more portable and convenient as many

Nevertheless
