Ray Bradbury, a famous American author, once said, "A computer does not smell...if a book is new, it smells great. If a book is old, it smells even better...And it stays with you forever...the computer doesn't do that for you." Many people agree with Bradbury, however, others feel eBooks can be just as sufficient as paper books, maybe even more.
Websites like Kitaboo claim that eBooks can be more "portable" and "lightweight" than paper books. That may be true, but does one really get the same satisfaction of tapping on a screen as flipping the pages of a handheld book? Approximately 84% of students polled at Apex Friendship prefer paper books over eBooks. Despite the fact that eBooks cost significantly less than paper books, can be more convenient, and take less space; there happen to be multiple reasons why book lovers enjoy paper books more.
Biomedcentral and book lovers alike use "woody, smoky, and earthy" to describe the unique smell of a book. The smell of a book continues to be an experience people will never get from a computer. Whether the book happens to be old or new, books carry a certain smell with them that people can't help but be comforted by.
Just the color of a book can draw people into the reading experience. Book covers, sprayed edges, and gilded pages can be qualities that appeal to book fanatics. Book covers usually get people's attention first. whether the colors occur as vibrant and bold, or black and white, they grab people's attention and immediately draw people in.
Paper books don't cause eye strain like eBooks. Healthline writes, "Scientists at the University of Toledo may have discovered how blue light emitted from your technology has a potential to lead to macular degeneration, one of the leading causes of vision loss in the United States." Even though many eBooks have "blue light," which isn't as harmful as light from the sun, people's eyes follow the same path over and over again, which results in eye strain. Reading a paper book affects the eyes less and causes less irritation due to repeated movement.
Though eBooks have their advantages, so do paper books. It depends on personal preference; however, paper books withstand the test of time and continue to be the preferred method of reading.
