With the rise of e-books comes the decline in paper books. Some people see this as a good step forward while others do not. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this trend.
Over the
last
few years, there has been constant progress and discovery in cutting-edge technology with each day that goes by.Digital books
are replacing hardcover books
in the modern world due to
the ease of use of smartphones. A loss of aesthetic appeal when reading is perceived by some, while
others see this
as a positive approach to technology. The paragraphs that follow will cover both advantages and disadvantages.
Firstly
, the digitization of books
has allowed people
to become more involved in their reading hobbies because they are no longer required to carry books
with them when they travel. Nowadays, everyone has a smartphone, from which they can access the book's PDF and read whenever they have free time. For example
, people
can read their favourite novels on the way to work. With the ability to store hundreds of books
on a single device, digitalization has also
made it more portable and convenient. Additionally
, it offers accessibility features that allow you to adjust the screen's colour and font size to your preference. Last
but not least, e-books
are cheaper and more ecologically friendly because they are paperless. Because paper production does not require deforestation, natural resources are conserved.
However
, using screens in place of paperback books
is less appealing aesthetically and tactically. For instance
, when reading in the past, people
used to feel the book and smell it, which helped to create a lifelong memory of reading. Excessive screen time is also
bad for your health and eyes. These days, it's evident from glancing around that everyone wears glasses due to
excessive use of computers and phones. Long-distance travel may raise concerns regarding the battery life of smartphones and e-readers like Kindles. Technical problems may also
arise from these electronic gadgets.Lastly
, there was a rise in unemployment and a negative effect on independent bookshops due to
these ebooks.
To summarize, coins always have two sides. While
digital books
have numerous advantages, they also
have certain drawbacks. Even while
some people
will prefer to read on their phones, others will buy paper books
