E-books or paper books?

We all know that e-books are becoming more and more famous at the speed of light.

Both e-books and paper books have different formats but they are used for the same purpose: they allow you to read a book. If you want an e-book you just have to download the book you are interested in and save it in you e-book reader, whereas if you want to read a traditional book, the paper one, you just have to go to a library, buy one or borrow one from a public library.

E-books are currently very trendy. I haven’t got an e-book reader and I think I will never have, because I am a paper books lover, but a lot of friends of mine, who are students too and love reading, have decided not to buy paper books anymore. They say buying an e-book reader it’s expensive at first, but then you recoup the cost of it very quickly.

You can download as many as you want. They are easily portable, therefore your bag won’t be heavy with all those things you carry in it and you won’t be killing more trees.

But paper books have advantages too. They are good gifts. It is also nice to have them in a bookshelf and you can buy them anywhere and they don’t need power to work.

If you are student you will also understand how important it is for a student to write some notes in them!

So it’s up to you. Tell me, what do you use?
