In recent years, more and more people are choosing to read ebooks rather than paper books. Do the advantage outweigh the disadvantages?

Although
e-book is considered a good choice, other
people
believe that e-
books
may harm human eyes. In my opinion, I think that e-
books
can bring more downsides to readers compared to any advantages they might bring.) Admittedly, there are some basic benefits to
people
reading
ebooks
.
Firstly
, a person who reads an
ebook
can save money on
paper
books
.
This
means that when a person needs to purchase a
paper
book, an
ebook
can be used to relieve his or her financial stress. Normally,
ebooks
cost less compared to
paper
books
.
Secondly
, the
ebook
provides a more convenient way to study since it is easier for
people
to carry any mobile device containing an
ebook
.
For instance
, in the past, when the internet was not invented,
people
needed to carry a large number of
paper
books
, which were really heavy and caused inconvenience,
whereas
nowadays,
people
can directly access any
ebook
they want as long as they use a mobile device
such
as a mobile phone or an iPad.
Nevertheless
, despite the advantages above, I believe that
people
who prefer reading
ebooks
could face serious drawbacks. One of the biggest potentially dangerous problems is that
ebooks
can cause harm to
people
's vision.
In other words
,
ebooks
may aggravate eye problems,
such
as myopia and astigmatism.
By contrast
,
paper
books
can effectively reduce damage to the eyes, as long as
people
keep the right distance when reading. Another issue why
people
pick up their mobile phones is not to study or read but for entertainment
due to
a lack of self-control ability.
Hence
,
ebooks
may not be of great help to learning, and even reduce learning time and efficiency.
To sum up
, I believe that
