Some people believe that physical
books
 are not needed in
this
 technological era as the writings can be stored in mobile phones, laptops, pads or other electronic devices,
while
 others argue that printed
books
 play a crucial role in
this
 era too. In my opinion, printed
books
 cannot be fully replaced by
ebooks
,
hence
, they still play an important role. On the one hand,
ebooks
 are very useful and convenient to use, as we do not need to carry them separately. They can be read anywhere, any time
such
 as
while
 travelling,in the dark,
while
 laying on the bed etc. There is
also
 no risk of tearing off papers or spilling something on the
book
.
For instance
, let us assume, a person wants to read a
book
while
 travelling on the train at night and
although
 the lights are turned off, he still can read from the ebook without any hassle.
Ebooks
 are a great way for storing all the
books
 and reading them whenever needed.
On the other hand
, physical
books
 are of great importance because it gives the
reader
 the sense of actually reading a
book
. Printed
books
 do not require any other device, a
reader
 can just open a
book
 and read.
While
 reading an ebook, the
reader
 is more likely to be distracted by other social media apps which are present in the electronic device,
Additionally
, there is a high risk of damage to the eyes and brain with
ebooks
.
Conversely
, printed
books
 are safe and a
reader
 can
also
 highlight and mark the pages he wants to read again.
Also
,when physical
books
 are owned, people get lured to read them.
To conclude
, both
ebooks
 and printed
books
 are important and it depends on the
reader
 to choose which suits them the most.
Hence
, in my opinion, printed
books
 still play an important role.
