ARE EBOOKS A GOOD INVENTION? FINAL VERSION

A new way of reading has developed in the last few years. Nowadays, you can choose to read either a paper book or an eBook, both allow you to spend time enjoying a great story.

To start with, eBooks are light and therefore you can carry them with you easily. For example, they are useful when you are travelling because you can have more than one book on your device. Moreover, eBooks are very ecofriendly, so they save a lot of paper and ink. Finally, they are easy to read due to their zoom functions which can make the text bigger.

The main disadvantage of eBooks is that you have to buy a special device in order to be able to read them, which can be expensive. Furthermore, they are bad for our health, because they cause eye strain. In addition to this, many people prefer the “classic” paper books due to the fact that they like the feel of them.

To sum up, I believe that eBooks are a good invention and I prefer them to paper books. In my opinion, society is evolving in many different ways and that includes how we read. I especially like eBooks because they allow us to be more environmentally friendly, and that’s one of the most important concerns of the world today.
