Are paper books better than e-books? Why or why not?

Are paper books better than e-books? Why or why not? Xy7Rw
With recent developments in technology like e-books, some people feel that printed media like books, newspapers, and magazines will soon be a thing of the past. Others feel that these forms of media will never disappear. Nowadays, people increasingly decide to read e-books rather than paper books. While some believe it comes with a specific health concern, using e-books will be beneficial for readers, both in terms of practicality and the environment. Reading e-books or paper books both have pros and cons. The evolution of technology offers a new way of presenting literature, known as electronic books, which has two main benefits. First, this method provides readers with a more practical way of collecting information from books, making it easier to bring their books. For example, students often find it difficult to bring all the paper resources they need to attend class, which are normally large and heavy. But using e-books, it is possible for them to fetch countless books stored in a small electronic device like a phone. Also, the transition from paper to digital books will clearly reduce the use of paper, thereby protecting the earth's ecosystem by conserving natural resources. The advantages of paper books as it comes to bookmarking a book as a read is easy, simply fold the paper over as a bookmark or use a piece of paper that is slightly longer than the book. In the face of fierce competition between two reading formats, electronic books are forced to constantly design for functional servers. The convenience and compactness of this type of e-book is probably the most important thing that makes you choose to use e-books, just bring a smartphone or portable mobile device, the roof to read books without having to rely on bulky books to carry. But no matter how developed and convenient e-books or e-books are, they cannot surpass the culture of paper books. Paper books seem to have become an irreplaceable reading culture even though the technology is constantly improving and updating regularly. An undeniable benefit of e-books is that they make it easy for readers to own books for less than a few seconds in the blink of an eye, while those who choose to read printed books have to wear them wear it. Or place a book and then sit back and wait for the book to arrive. For those who want to improve their foreign language skills, reading English e-books is indispensable, they are extremely convenient because you because, you can look up new words while reading because of current because current e-book reading applications. now almost have integrated click and see functions function. But when reading e-books no longer be distracted by people around. On the other hand, in addition to the benefits, there are also some disadvantages. The cons of reading electronic books cause eye problems. This is because it has a small screen and emits radiation harmful to the eyes. But this activity is not the only one to blame. For example, reading more than paper in the dark causes a similar problem. Regarding that, its effect can be avoided, I think, as long as the reader maintains a good reading habit. Furthermore, for the health concern, it is no doubt to indicate that reading e-books online for a long period of time will harm your eyesight. A study showed that reading 1 hour in front of technology devices will diminish the degree of your eyesight. That is 2 times faster than reading a real book. Consequently, this repercussion drags down the willingness of people who are in favor of reading online. In summary, e-books have positive effects on both people and the environment. Nowadays, people have the chance to read books effectively without wasting any paper through e-books. Unfortunately, there is speculation that reading e-books could be harmful, but I find the effect to be insignificant. Therefore, reading e-books is better than reading traditional paper books. I strongly believe that using e-books will be beneficial to the readers due to their practicality as well as the environment, although some believe it comes along with a certain health issue.
