Nowadays electronic books are replacing books little by little. Every day it is more frequent to see people with an ebook in their hands instead of a paper book. Ebooks, like all the new tecnologies, are creating a lot of debates.
On the one hand, ebooks are positive because to buy an ebook costs, more or less, the same as buying five or six paper books and then, you can have all the books you want and if you don't like a book the only thing you have to do is delete it, without worring about how much it cost you. Another reason for ebooks is that they are smaller and lighter than traditional ones and they can also store more than a thousand books. In addition, they are enviromentally friendly because paper isn't use to produce it.
On the other hand, with ebooks, you don't feel the sensation of having a real book in your hands and you cannot feel the smell or the touch of the paper. Another reason against ebooks is that you have to check or charge the battery every time you want to go with it somewhere. In addition, because of ebooks a lot of libraries, book shops and editorials can be affected or even get closed.
To conclude, I think that ebooks are a very useful invention, especially for those who really like reading. Personally, I think that nothing can be compared to the sensation of feeling the book in your hands but I'm not against ebooks, I even have one, especially because I can't afford to buy as many books as I would like.
