Are Paper Books Better Than E-Books?
Do you read you books online via Amazon, Kindle, Nook, PDF, etc? Or do you like to curl up with a paperback novel and read the old fasion way? Are paper books on thw way our or will they be around forever?
In case you don't know who I am here is my intro post from way back:
BunnyPuncher Don’t worry your bunnies are “fairly” safe!
Story of an honest Steemian. Honesty in today's world it still exists!!
I love reading and had in excess of 500 books. We moved house and I had to get rid of some stuff, including at least half of the books.
Switching to Kindle was amazing. I now have no books. Everything is on Kindle. Initially, I missed the look, feel, weight and smell of books. Not anymore!
Travelling is even better. I now travel with every book I own. Effortlessly.
Get a Kindle!

I really enjoy ebooks and audiobooks over paper these days. Books are too fragile for me, I like to bring them everywhere so an ereader is super helpful.

Of course! Nothing beats the feel of turning over a page on a real book. I do have e-books myself, but it just is not the same.

I prefer a hand held book as opposed to looking at a screen. But, having a computer that can hold all of the weight twenty books that one can hold in one's hands is tough to beat. It has got to be a trade off.
Not all of what I might want to read can be found in a book just yet; just here in the digital space can it be found.
I hope books stick around. I don't like the fact that things can be change digitally so easily. If the wrong sorts of people want to direct the masses more effectively, all they have to do is change some words and say it has always been like it was. (It will drive us crazy knowing how much stuff they change to their liking.) Having a hard copy of a book, the words will not "magically" change anytime soon.

A big no from my side because almost 7 million trees are cutting down just for papers and we all know nature is life. Some people disagree with me they thought physical books are more effective than e-books but I don't think so its mental level problem how focus you are to learn something.
Let's have a real-life example I am a University student and I belong a lower-middle-class family who is hardly affording my college fee and my living expenses and from last four years, I haven't bought a single page book. I have learned everything online absolutely free whether it is my own syllabus or magazines because I can't afford more money for buying books.
You can carry hundreds of e-books without any problem and you are also saving nature, that's amazing !
Thank you :-)

Hii @bunnypuncher in my opinion Paper books are better because we have the chance to pass each page and have a direct contact with the book, but in my case i read in PDF, because in Venezuela it is impossible to buy a book with all the economic problems, and in recent years most people read in pdf for that reason. In another point, digital books have a positive point because if we want a book urgently, we have the opportunity to find it and download it on the Internet. Greetings and thanks for this contest and opportunity.

Are paper books better than electronic books?
the reality is that everything in this life is an evolution; There is nothing like reading a book in physics, I mean on paper, and feeling the smell of paper, hugging the book, kissing it and even biting it; but as the world progresses and you have to go step by step with it, and at this moment there are audio books, electronic or digital books, which you can find in various formats. and you can read them on different devices like it is on the pc, on the lapto, mini lapto, android phones, but my favorite and favorite is on the tablet, you can also stop and pause reading, have your bookmarks and reread your favorite parts and your space for comments and even chat comments, to make references to the book and criticism, my conclusion is that a story, novel, story, poems; the way you read it; the most important thing is that you finish reading. you knew that reading this helps keep your brain active and this prevents suffering in a future time of Alzheimer's disease, so I most certainly invite you to experiment more often reading. but my favorite at this moment is the electronic book.

From my perspective, e-books are better than paper books.
In this information technology age, e-books has developed significantly due to its amazing convenience. Specifically, Just by using a smartphone or a tablet, people are able to access tons of e-books with an ease, instead of bringing some books along. It's super useful and comfortable for those hesitating to open a paper book to read while books seem to be quite heavy and inconvenient.
However, some people find it hard to concentrate on reading e-books compared to paper books because they tend to do some stuff like checking their news feeds on social media such as Facebook and Instagram. In the case reading a paper book, they keep their phones away so it may be easier for them to focus on what they are reading on the books.
To sum up, although there are several potential drawbacks, I strongly believe that e-books are playing a greater role in reality than paper books are.

It's more about personal tastes. I personally prefer paper books as I can't get focused when I read E-books and my eyes don't get tired. Also it's more romantic,some people (including me) enjoy the smell of a new book, and also you can read them anywhere without the need of electricity or if you live in a third world country without the fear of being robbed. Also you can give them as a gift to that special person :) it's hard to substitute the paper books!

We can visualise this form two different perspective
Most of the people find paperback better as it gives them a more sense of reading than a kindle ebook.
If you are more of a reader and read lost of books, then from environmental sense, a kindle is better, I too believe that we should stop being selfish and should contribute whatever is in our capability to help the environment.
