Over the
last
 two or three decades the way people read
books
 has changed dramatically
due to
 major advancements in technology. Some people believe that the replacement of printed work with electronic
books
 is a good development
while
 others oppose
this
 point of view. In
this
 essay, I will explore the pros and cons of change and try to draw some conclusions. I will start by looking at the advantages. One of the major advantages of using ebooks is the reduction in the cutting of trees as a significant number of plants are used to make publications every year.
Moreover
, physical novels are difficult to preserve and they need to be upgraded and maintained after a particular time
while
 there are fewer chances of any damage to ebooks because they are saved in an electronic form and can be modified very easily.
On the other hand
, there are some drawbacks to using electronic
books
.
Firstly
, it is strenuous to read a book from electronic devices as it is not as comfortable as reading a book
while
 holding hands.
In addition
, one can be bored very easily
while
 studying from a computer or smartphone because it becomes hard to focus
while
 traveling
whereas
 in the case of
books
, one can easily pay attention and enjoy the journey.
To conclude
, the popularity of digital
books
 has impacted paper volume positively
as well as
 negatively. Though It has reduced the cost used for the maintenance and printing of
books
 after a fixed time, it has made the learning process very difficult and tricky.
