dear gentle people.....
this is my view.. it may differ from yours....
anyways e-books are only useful for people on the move with their laptops and need to refer to them while they are on move.....
most of the time people are doing nothing with their laptops but showing off...... the people who really need to work on laptops or pocket pcs are not more than 3%. for the rest 97%, paper books should be a prefered option. e-books are easy to carry and store.... thats the only advantage...... people can only get the real satisfaction of gaining knowledge by reading paper books and not by e-books. e-books may be a good medium to transfer data or the contents of the book but in actuals..... they cannot be read over a screen for a long time...... if people do..... they strain their eyes much more as compared to that of reading paper books...... there can be no alternative to paper books as there can be no alternative to nature........
