Do you prefer paper books or electronic books? This question must be a very ultimate question for you. It is argued that reading e-books is preferred over reading p-books. This essay totally disagrees with that statement. Recently, the demand for e-books is increasing. For example, many students use electronic dictionaries in school classes. It’s said that in the future, p-books will decline and be replaced by e-books and p-books will be valuable in the distant future. However, I think p-books are better than e-books. There are several reasons for that. I introduce you to the charm of p-books.
One of the attractions of paper books is that we can actually have them and see their real things. They exist so we can buy and sell them while looking at real things but e-books can only be read on screens such as smartphones and personal computers. If we buy an e-book, it may not be what wanted to read. P-books that you can check and buy are more attractive than e-books and there are fewer mistakes in buying books. In addition, there is no concept of “used” because e-books buy data. There are many used books that have not been converted into e-books. For example, old books and premier books wit low distribution volume. The next attraction of p-books is that they can be collected. People who like reading tend to prefer paper books. They find it attractive to collect books and find it fun to collect books all over the wall. That are things that e-books can’t do. I think my bookshelf is packed with the reading time I’ve spent and my past self and my present self are connected there. It is difficult to remember those contents even if you read a book, but if it is p-books, you can remember it by always keeping the spine cover within easy reach.
Electronic books also have a charm not found in paper books. For example, e-books takes up less space to store and carry but there is one drawback. In the worst case, if you get wet in the rain or drop a device that contains book data, you will lose all the data. P-book can’t be erased in an instant. In addition, e-books have the advantage of being cheaper to buy than p-books but it also has drawbacks. That is e-books can’t be sold so it’s not really clear.
From the above, I think p-books are better than books. Recently, due to the spread of the coronavirus and the rainy season, I spend more time at home. There are more opportunities to subscribe to subscriptions such as Netflix and U-NEXT, and some content allows you to enjoy not only movies but also e-books. However, I hope you read this essay and realize the charm of paper books and I think p-books are more attractive, but it’s important to use them properly with books and want you to realize the fun of reading a book. I encourage you to read more books. Let’s enjoy reading books!
