In recent years more and more students are choosing to read e-books rather than paper-based books. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

Nowadays , most of the population uses e-books

instead

of paper-based books.

This

essay will examine the advantages and disadvantages of

this

particular action and provide a logical conclusion. The two main advantages of using an e-book as a substitute for a paper-based book are the cheap price that an e-book and the fact

that is

more comfortable to carry a digital tablet.

Firstly

,

while

buying ten books can cost around 150 dollars, buying them digitally costs you around 10 dollars.

For example

, "The Summer I turned pretty" cost 14 dollars in paper format and 1 dollar on the Internet.

Secondly

, it is easier to carry one tablet

instead

of carrying more than 10 handbooks.

For instance

, I usually put only my reading pad in my backpack rather than putting all my manuals.

However

,

this

change of reading format

also

has some major disadvantages

such

as not having the satisfaction when students finish the

last

page and

as well as

forcing their eyes to look at a screen. When you finish the

last

page of a handbook, you get an instant dopamine hit,but with the digital ,form it is not the same joy.

Furthermore

, when students look at the screen for more than 3 hours , their eyes start hurting and in

this

way, they put their health at risk. In conclusion, changing the format of reading from a paper version to digitalized one makes it more comfortable to carry books and more affordable, but

also

takes away the joy of reading and destroys the young's vision. I believe that the drawbacks outweigh the benefits.
