Nowadays e-books have become widely spread. Some people claim that e-books are bound to oust conventional ones, while others believe that traditional printed books will never be a thing of the past. Discuss both views and express your opinion.
In the world of digitalization, the use of
e-
books
has become increasingly common. A wide population believes that e-
books
will soon take over the conventional method of reading because they are portable and time-saving, while others believe that hardbound books
will continue to be favoured by their users due to their health advantages and tranquil feature. In my opinion, most readers will move to the online method of reading however
, a few will continue to use the traditional method of reading.
In a fast-paced world, where information is made so easily available with the touch of your fingers, E-
books
have now become a huge rave to the reading population. One of its major benefits is that online reading is more portable. For example
, the user can access a wide variety of books
on a single platform, escaping the hassle to visit a book
store. In addition
to this
, the user can now save much of his time deciding which book
he would like to buy considering the various factors he takes into account while purchasing a book
at a shop.
Although
e-
books
have definitely picked up rage for our aspiring readers, they cannot substitute the benefits of reading from a book
, online reading can be hazardous to health. For instance
, constant glaring at the screen can cause strain to the eyes, sleep deprivation & headaches etc. On the contrary
, physical book
reading does not have harmful effects on the eyes and brain, and is less distracting, as there are no notificatications or pings that pop up while a reader reads through a book
, he can use his own imagination which is the true essence of reading.
To summarize, while e-
books
have become a convenient and popular style of reading, the importance of reading from hardbound books
cannot be denied. We would still need books
to instigate our imagination, especially the younger generation, who in my opinion, must read from books
to shape their thoughts and to avoid the distractions of online reading.Submitted by jai302 on
