EBooks and books

In this text I will compare EBooks and books. There are similarities, but there are differences too.

 Here is some information, about what people think. In Buenos Aires people still choose the format of books, checked by a poll made to 600 men and women. The 86% of them prefer the book, and the 65% of that 86% say they aren´t able to replace it.

The EBook is an electronic or digital book. Is ready-make for be read everywhere, and with any mobile device, It is fabulous because with only one device you can read any book and it is not necessary to have light to read them, because the device counts with light. But one of the problems is that the device is expensive. Also, the device must be charged every day, if not it will get out of battery. If it falls, most probably will get broke. And if it gets wet, most probably will get broke too.

The books are the traditional way of reading, and most of the people prefer them. They don´t spend energy, because they don’t have to be charged. If it falls, most probably it will not get broke. Buying a book is cheap, but there is a problem, a book only contains one or  few stories, so if you want to read different books you will have to buy more and more, and in the end it more expensive than a EBook. Another problem is that to make a book it´s necessary to use paper, and if that paper is not recycled paper, trees would be cut, and if the trees are cut, there will be less oxygen. Additionally they occupy more space and it´s more heavy.

In my opinion, I still prefer the books, because besides all the EBooks would make me distract easily.

 An interesting fact about this, checked by Harvard, is that the EBooks affect the sleep patron, because the blue light, that is the light that the EBook produce. So if you read with EBook before going to sleep, it will affect you and it will make you more difficult to sleep.
