eBooks versus printed books, which is really better? Round one; Let’s talk about Features. According to 68%
of young adult readers with devices used for reading, a person can read in any light condition, adjust text
size, highlight text for later reference, store a lot of books in one device and carry it anywhere. Books offer
physical aspects that an eBook doesn’t. You can flip through its pages and directly write notes on the book
itself, giving a more natural experience.
Round two; eBooks and printed books fight for the ease it gives to the readers. According to 66% percent of
young adult readers, printed books are better. First, they are eye friendly. Second, they give a more fulfilling
reading experience, which connects the reader to the book. Lastly, it doesn´t require power. eBooks, on the
other hand, are the opposite of these reasons, which makes it difficult for them to read. Also, they cause eye
strain.
Round three; Let’s talk about the cost. 86% of readers who have devices, find eBooks cheaper than printed
books. There are also free books on the internet, which is also one reason why they choose to read eBooks.
Printed books just cost more.
