E-BOOKS (final version)

Nowadays e-books are becoming a way of reading that more and more people use, but is this really something that favours the new reading? What’s happening to traditional books?

On the one hand, e-books offer more variety of books that you can’t find at a bookshop but you can on the internet. Also this technology allows you to store more than one book and take it from one place to another because it’s portable. Furthermore, this system is cheaper than buying books as you only spend the cost of the e-book and after that you don’t spend any more money.

The down side of this new technology is that you can neither feel the real book, see it, smell it, therefore you don’t really get into the story. In addition, If you read an e-book for many hours it can be bad for your sight.

To conclude, I think that despite the fact that traditional books are more common, this invention is the future for many people and technology is at hand for everyone.
