E-Books
 becoming more popular nowadays
due to
 technological evolution and resulting in a major reduction in demand for
paper
 books.Many
people
 believe
this
 is a good approach as its ebooks are cheaper than
paper
 books and
while
 others think
this
 will affect us very badly for our society. in
this
 essay,I will discuss both advantages and disadvantages of
this
 subject. The main advantage is Cost of
E-books
, compare to
paper
 book the cost of
e-books
 are very cheaper and easy to access for everyone. since inflations going very high many
people
 are looking for a cheaper option that they can afford.
in addition
, current society looking for more eco-friendly options and many
people
 believe that increasing e-book usage will be benefited planet earth by reducing deforestation,
For example
,studies show that to produce 1 ton of
paper
 need twenty-five fully grown trees. When we talk about disadvantages many
people
 believe that specifically young kids can not focus and concentrate on their studies as they must use electronic tablets or laptops to use
e-books
.
therefore
 many young kids spend their valuable time on social media rather than reading
e-books
,
For example
, young kids aged between 12 to 16 are addicted to social media and studies show that the average young kid spends four to six hours on social media.
also
, there are many challenges in third-world countries as parents can not afford the cost of tablets and laptops
due to
 low income and
this
 will be hard for poor countries to adopt
e-books
. In conclusion, e-book usage heavily protects our planet earth and money saving but
on the other hand
, there will be many uneducated personals will create in the next generations to come.
