More and more people prefer to read e–books rather than paper books. What are the reasons for this? What problems can this cause for libraries?

In the modern day,
e-books
 have rapidly grown popular within society.
This
 leads to some readers enjoying
e-books
 more than the traditional ones. The reasons may be
due to
 how easy to access it and there is no need for the space.
This
 trend would make people visit
libraries
 less often.
To begin
 with, electronic literature is on the internet.
This
 gives it an advantage in that it can be accessed from anywhere and at any time. Unlike a physical one, people have to carry it around in order to read it.
Moreover
, in the digital world, they can perform more annotations
such
 as zoom in, adjust brightness, type numbers to change pages, etc. These benefits outweigh the original ones,
hence
, why they become more popular among readers. Another aspect is the space to keep them.
This
 literature can take up a ton of areas, which makes the owners sacrifice some of their personal
zone

. So, readers who intend to keep a lot of books need to have an area available which may affect their personal lives.
Furthermore
, these volumes
also
 need physical maintenance. If anyone just leaves them on the shelf they might rot or become a mess.
On the other hand
, electronic books are entirely on the Internet. There is no need to provide a spare area for them and they
also
 don't desire a maintenance check.
Lastly
, physical literature with time, can be cut or rotten until it becomes unreadable but
e-books
 don't have those matters.
This
 surely creates issues for
libraries
. There will be fewer individuals at
libraries
 which will leave the volumes inside untouched. Those volumes that nobody notices may get forgotten
then
 they might not get proper treatment. Eventually, they will break faster than they should be.
Additionally
, by having fewer people come to the library, it might get less budget which will cause problems with various factors
such
 as buying new novels and hiring staff and managers.
As a result
, the library might shut down entirely. In conclusion,
e-books
 have grown its popularity
due to
 their convenience in access and
also
 no longer need for space.
Libraries
 will face problems like books broken faster, fewer staff members, or in the worst case scenario closing forever.

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
