Another class post! I promise I'll start back up with the book reviews!!!!
This is about the battle between books and e-books. In my opinion, I like both types the same. Normal books you can read as many times as you want, and the local library has many to borrow whenever you want and enjoy. E-books, however, are different. You have to pay to buy them (and sometimes rent them), and the digital reader you need for them could be in use, charging, or just plain broken! It is my opinion that e-books will eventually win out in the future, unfortunately. Print books can be translated into digital to be used on e-readers, and the companies can make money off of them as people start to buy them. Also, to actually read these e-books you need the e-reader provided by the company. If you have an Amazon Kindle, for example, and you want to buy an e-book that is only offered for the Barnes and Noble Nook, then you're out of luck. But if you want a print book and the library doesn't have it, you can request it from another library. There will gradually be more and more books offered for e-readers, and the use of print books will decline. However, I'll still be using print books, you can count on that!
