E-books are better than Paper Books
In the modern world, technology has replaced almost everything with an electronic form, including paper books with e-books. In my opinion, e-books have multiple features that make them readable and suitable for people, such as portability, environmental friendliness, and ease of access. At the same time, some readers think that paper books have characteristics that make them more convenient to readers than e-books, such as cost-effectiveness and durability. However, e-books have proved to offer more flexibility and unmatched convenience. First and foremost, it is clear that e-books are easily portable from one place to another. Indeed, e-books occupy far less space because they are contained in devices such as mobile phones and laptops, such that moving them around is not a cumbersome task. For example, since e-books do not require physical storage like shelves, students can have as many books as they desire in a tablet and can buy a lot of books without worrying about space. E-books are also environmentally friendly in that they are usually in soft copy form and not hard copies. They do not require cutting down trees for papermaking, and therefore the forests are saved from deforestation. For instance, according to the global forest report, papermaking industries consume over thirty-five percent of almost four billion trees that are cut down annually from all over the world, suggesting that e-books are the best alternative to preserving forests. Finally, e-books can easily be accessed online via the internet and by searching on websites. These books can be found at any time and from any geographical location by visiting the appropriate site. For instance, Vialibri is an online search engine where readers get access to the old and rare books and manuscripts, making it easy and convenient to acquire papers from any part of the world. To sum up, I believe that e-books are easily portable, they protect the environment from deforestation and are unimaginably easy to access via the internet. These features should encourage readers to use digital books for the benefit of convenience and environmental preservation.
