Paper vs. Ebooks

Ebooks are becoming widely popular in this age of technology. Who wouldn't want a book that can be carried around on a thin Kindle, with adjustable brightness and pages turning with a click? Paper books aren't yet in much danger of going out of print, yet they still are being bought less and less. People just don't care much about the value of crisp sheets and beautiful cover designs, not when compared to the cost of ebooks, which are often much less costly then their hard copies. Which may be rightfully so. Ebooks do not need to worry about the cost of paper, printing, and binding for each individual. This also makes them eco-friendly. However, there are also paper books that are printed on recycled paper (usually when they talk about saving the earth). Also, paper books open up new jobs for those without them. Quite simply, paper books are irreplaceable. Nothing at all can replace the feeling of a new book in one's hands. The smooth cover and print are just what make books the whole experience of reading exciting. 
In my opinion, books are more fun for the consumer, but ebooks outweigh them in some cases because of their convenience. So what do you think about paper and ebooks?

  2. So, my dad wants me to use the kindle. But, I don't get that same feeling in the kindle as I get in paper books. I agree with your reasoning.
