In recent years, more and more
people are choosing to read e-books rather than paper books. Do the advantages
outweigh the disadvantages?
It has been observed that people are choosing
more e-books than paper books over time. There are both pros and cons to this
phenomenon, but I personally think that the advantages are greater.
To begin with, there are several drawbacks
about e-books. First and foremost, it is not convenience to read for a long
time. In other words, it can expose the digital eye strain symptoms which
accompanied eye redness, blurred or doubled vision and eye dryness with pain in
the shoulders and neck. Because diverse kinds of electronic devices’ screen like
iPad, smartphone emit blue light to be reached far deeper into eyes. Also, the
users have to charge it periodically to use for hours. Another point to
consider is that it is possible to the piracy situation which means downloading
and sharing contents without permission such as music, movie and book. Giving the
type of intellectual property to its owner is proper and they deserve to be protected
it from users by purchasing with reasonable price through appropriate route. However,
a few users conducted illegal replica like distributing the e-book with their acquaintance.
Nevertheless, not all aspects of e-book
have negative sides. The users enjoy the excellent efficiency and practicality
compared with paper books. First of all, it tends to be low coast as the
process and price of printing and compiling is not necessary in case of books
through electronic equipment. In addition, it might can take on a lot of role like
searching the mean of vocabulary, highlighting and also contain hundreds of
books even when they use it as a book-reader. Therefore, the electronic doesn’t
take much space in desks and bags. Last but not least, the out of stock
situation rarely happens unless sales are limited by author, authorities. As I
mentioned before, e-book which is without printing and compiling is not limited
the number.
In conclusion, although e-books have
diverse kinds of uncomfortable problems and copyright issues, I believe that
there is more convenience to use.
