E-Books Vs. Paper Books


Book lovers are the most untrustable people in the world said a Henry David Thoreau. Had e-books  been there in his times, I doubt he would have said that.  There are several advantages of

the e-books.  but i like paper books so I have tried to prove my point in these seven heading.


1.  Handling      

Paper Books are  very easy, no risk at all

E Books :    Easy to carry but a little difficult  to use        
-----------------------------
-------------------------------------------

2.  Readability 
 
Paperbooks  : Easiest, Only light is required
 
E-books  :  Some sort of computer is a must
------------------------------------------------------------------


3.&nbs
p; Value Addition :

Paper books:  Create special value, can be resold, Person carrying books is more admired than pulled leg.
e- Books : Difficult to reveal that a book is being carried actually.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------

4. Value Creation:

Paper Books : Create most value, they can be used for packing items once discarded

E-books : Makes u stick to the computer!
------------------------------------------------------------

5. Costs 
Paper books :1.only cost of book
2.Have a resale value (Kamse kam Kilo-gram mein to jayega)

E Books  :Cost of books+ Cost of computer+cost of power
-------------------------------------------------------------

6. Transferability :
 Paper books : easily transferable personally, if distant then a problem
E-books,: Easy to transfer even for distance, But person not enough for transfer
--------------------------------------------------------------

7.&nbs
p; Others:
 
Paper books :Easy to read in open air,under tree shade
Recyclable, Hard to copy
More flexibility for e books! easy to copy!

    I have downloaded some 45 big books from the net so far, and completed reading just 21. While i have brought several and only two are balance in the paper form. Once on computer, there are several things to be done. Attention is easily diverted, but with the book, its different.  You start living with the characters, you are with them.

 There are messages coming, warning appearing, and all that when you login on the computer, and the urge  to open your chat id, mail id is so great that you can’t stop yourself from that.
 Now that computers have become common, its not difficult to switch on to it, but still paper backs are good because, you get away from the computer, a feeling that says you are working goes away. Its more relaxed.

 There are several more reasons, but I prefer to keep it short.
 Before I end, most importantly, The orders in a paper industry will come down if all people shift over to paper less offices, and books also, and that would reduce the orders and eventually the pay! 
 
So that is also to be kept in mind.
