You know that computers gradually seem to be replacing books. Practically everything (from encyclopedias to manuals) is now available on CD-ROM. Is this new way of reading to your benefit? Be ready to discuss its advantages and disadvantages.
In essence, the two formats are very similar. Both allow you to do the most important thing - read a book. The text is the important thing, not the medium. Reading Sumerian legends on clay tablets can feel more "authentic", but doesn't necessarily enhance your understanding of the subject matter - just your experience.
The eBook
eBooks offer the following obvious advantages (assuming you have an ebook reader):
CONS:
Battery time might be an issue.
- Some books are still not available electronically.
- Needs a device.
- Page turning might be a little too ineffective.
- A paperbook gives a better possibility to overview the book.
- Might be exhausting for the eyes to read from a screen.
And lastly here is a problem that all fancy gadgets have. Sometimes they just dont work. A real book wont break just like that, it doesnt need to be charged, you cant erase any pages or do anything else wrong with it
Personally, I mix and match.
Paper books are still my favorite though.
Maybe nobody will care about printed books 50 years from now, but I do. When I read a book, I'm handling a specific object in a specific time and place. The fact that when I take the book off the shelf it still says the same thing that's reassuring.
I want to like e-readers but I just can't replace old fashioned printed books.
