Are e-books better than traditional paper books? E-books are very popular these days but many readers prefer paper books. Some people think that e-books are great. They can store thousands of books on an e-reader. They don’t need to go to a bookshop because they can buy and receive books online immediately. On the other hand paper books are still very popular. Some people prefer to hold a “real” book and like to touch paper pages although real paper books take up much space at home. In short I think that e-books are a really useful invention. Many people use them but they won’t replace paper books in the future.
