With the advent of computer technology, disputes about which books are better - electronic or ordinary printed. We can say that this is a matter of taste, because in fact there is no difference what kind of literature to read. But let's try to look at this problem somewhat deeper. Perhaps you will discover something new.

Is there nothing better than an ordinary book?.

As fast as the electronics did not develop, there are always fans of the paper book. It is, as a rule, enthusiastic collectors, bibliophiles and people who are simply pleased to hold a literary work in their hands, leafing through his pages. This too has its own charm. But are there any objective facts that speak in favor of a paper book?.

Advantages of printed books:.

Speed ??and convenience of perception - scientists have proven that a person reads printed books 17% faster than electronic books. The level of activity of the sympathetic system is higher by 14.5%.

Ideal gift - you can present a book in a beautiful binding, so that it becomes a memorable thing for a loved one.

Part of the interior - perhaps it will sound to someone blasphemous, but books also decorate the home and without them it is impossible to create a real cosiness.

There is also an opinion that ordinary books less load the eyes. But this is misleading, since all the readers work on the principle of "electronic ink". Their displays are not much different from printed pages, since they do not emit light.

The disadvantages include the cost of purchasing a book in online stores - usually it is larger than a similar file in electronic form;.

place - with time printed books take up a lot of space.

The future behind electronic readers?.

Electronic books open access to the worldwide (and in many cases still absolutely free) library called the Internet. Such devices are relatively inexpensive, even cheaper than tablets, because they have a more simple functional.

Advantages of e-books:.

The entire literary collection is always with you - e-books provide mobility of movement, which is convenient if you often read in transport.

The drawbacks of the readership include the fact that not every literary work is immediately translated into their format. Writers are very jealous of this, because everything that is released in electronic form, automatically becomes the object of piracy.

Separately, it's worth mentioning such phenomenon as audio books. This is the ideal solution for people who get tired at work and suffer from a shortage of free time. Audiobook can listen at the wheel of the car or completely relaxed at home. But it is worth considering that this format is suitable for people with a well-developed auditory perception. Everyone is free to decide how convenient it is for him to read. The main thing is not to stop searching for the perfect literature.
