This

 mean that

 may likely suffer from vision-related problems associated with prolonged

 of electronic devices and
also
 they will not be able to

 with each other.
This
 essay will explore what I consider to be the benefits and drawbacks of
ebooks
.
To begin
 with, using
ebooks
 can drastically reduce the
usage
 of
paper
, which will not be the case with the
usage
 of
paper
books
.
Readers
 should encourage
ebooks
 as it is the right step towards protecting the environment from the tremendous destruction of trees to produce
paper
books
.
Secondly
, it is a great financial benefit to
readers
 because it is just a one-time investment towards enjoying lifetime reading.
For example
,
readers
 can just subscribe to a publisher with a certain fee and they will be able to download newly released
books
 for free rather than purchasing every book from a bookstore. There are,
however
, a few drawbacks associated with the
usage
 of
ebooks
.
Firstly
, users may suffer from eye-vision-related problems because of extensive
usage
 of digital devices which would not be the case with traditional
paper
books
. A recent study has shown that prolonged
usage
 of tablets, mobiles and laptops will impact eye vision by 5 per cent.
Secondly
, most of the
readers
 are part of one or more book communities and it is very common to
share
books
 with other members of the community.
Readers
 will not be able to
share
 their
ebooks
 as they are restricted to a single user and there is no sharing facility provided by the
ebooks
 publishers to
share
 them with fellow users. In conclusion, using
ebooks
 can be beneficial in protecting the environment by reducing the trees being destroyed to produce
paper
 and
also
 it can be a great benefit to
readers
 financially, but
readers
 can suffer from eye vision-related ailments and
also
 the
books
 sharing habit which most of the
readers
 have will be lost.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
