Electronic or paper books – what to choose?
They, that people have not stopped reading, already says a lot. At the first place, about the desire to constantly learn something new, so to speak, to hone, like water a stone, their culture. But, today readers face a dilemma – read books on paper or buy an e-book, in which you can download various literature with pictures, photos, illustrations and read at the first opportunity? The costs are minimal. Spending a certain amount on an electronic device for reading books, in the future we pay exclusively for services, provided to us via the Internet.
There are many sites on the web, where ebooks can be downloaded absolutely free, in any format, which allows our device. Novelties and bestsellers and e-books can be purchased for a very small amount, which is much less than the cost of a paper book. Now there is no need to constantly follow the news of one or another author, when you can subscribe to the news feed on the Internet. There is no longer a need to go to bookstores and markets to buy a new book. More, now, you do not need to spend your money to buy, after all, paper books, as in soft, and hardcover, are constantly becoming more expensive.
Having an electronic device for reading books significantly reduces your waste and saves on the purchase of books. Many world-famous authors have long worked directly with readers, without publishers. After all, all your copyrighted works are posted online and available for download. Tell me, will be able to fit in your business portfolio several volumes of an encyclopedia or some other reading? And in a device for reading books – to fit, because it all depends on the amount of flash memory, which can be constantly increased, if you do not have enough space. Ebooks can be easily removed from a so-called book reader, at that time, as a printing option remains on the bookshelf. Sometimes it is impossible to find a free place in the apartment, where you could stick another detective, thriller, scientific publication and so on.
Only, apparently, minus this device – its fragility. The book reader may fall, as a result, the display will be damaged, on which the texts are displayed. It can get wet. But you're not going to read in the rain? After all, you also do not read paper texts in the bathroom or on the street in the rain, snow and other weather phenomena.
But, there are many indisputable advantages in printed publications, with which no electronic device can stand in the same row, what functions it would not have. In the first place, take at least the smell of printing – this pleasant aroma of pages, as well as their rustle, always nice to breathe, feel the indescribable atmosphere of the story. Agree, that you will not smell electronics. Except for the smell of iron and your hands, you will feel absolutely nothing. So, we can safely say, printed, illustrated editions are unlikely to ever be completely supplanted by electronic versions and will never lose their relevance.
Another question – which lead to overheating of the gasoline or diesel engine. But true and loyal fans of the book, never change the flavor of pages to electronic text display. Perhaps, there is no point in saving?
