E-BOOKS OR PAPER BOOKS? (FINAL VERSION)

The new technologies have  become an important part of our lives in a little time, computers, televisions, tablets, smartphones.... and, in the last few years,  E-Books.
E-Books have become very popular in a few years, but they create a big controversy too: could  the paper book disappear?

On the one hand, E-Books have lots of advantages. First of all they are lighter than paper books so you can have almost 1.000books in your bag with the same weight and you can carry it whenever you want, because they don’t need lot of space. Moreover, they have a light, so you don’t need a lamp or another source on it. Finally, they are really ecofriendly, because they aren’t made of paper.

On the other hand,  E-books increase piracy, because you can download_ them from the internet without paying anything, so lots of writers could suffer economic problems, moreover, the quality of the books could be bad. Furthermore, as they have an electronic screen, they can cause sight problems, and you have to carry the loader in order to load the battery, which means a waste of energy.

To conclude, I would say that I prefer paper books. I think that it's more gratifying to have a complete collection  of books on your shelf rather than in your computer, but, it’s true that the E-books are more ecofriendly and comfortable than paper ones.
