Nowadays,
more and more fashionable is to use the ebooks. With these you can have access
to many texts. You can find short texts and long ones too. And all these are as
heavy as your portable equipment.
It's hard
to disagree, but for me this is the only advantage of e-books.
I don’t
like the electronic form of reading anything. First of all, I can’t focus on
the content reading! Many of the facts after reading I don’t remember, because during
the reading my thoughts are far far away from me. Often these texts are scans
of the original (in case of texts useful for studies) and they really lose on
their quality. I don’t like to strain eyes and wonder what is the last word on
the bottom line.
When I read
I like the feel when book is in my hands. Book doesn’t have to be the latest
release, but when it is straight from the bookstore, it has particular smell and if it isn’t damaged it’s additional advantage . Also when I want
to highlight something important or make a note in the text, the paper turns
out to be useful.
Reading
online is tiring, I feel pain when I read too long. When you read traditional
books such symptoms are rare.
Unfortunately
I won’t follow the growing fashion of e-books. Environmentalists also won’t
convince me, arguing that reading ebooks protect the environment. We don’t need
to have in bookcase all the books since we have well-equipped urban libraries,
which offer various book resources.
Definitely I will not become a e-reader.
