Does the decline of nearly 20% in e-book sales mean that paper books will return?
I think the nearly 20% year-on-year decline in e-book sales does not mean that paper books will return, because paper books have never left. E-book sales fell by nearly 20% year-on-year, indicating that the strong momentum of e-reading has passed, which means that e-books and paper books are about to enter a relatively balanced and stable state.

E-books can't replace paper books in many cases. Many times, the reading experience brought by e-books is actually average, unlike paper books. Like me, I like reading paper books rather than e-books. When reading e-books, I sometimes read them in bed, which is actually very bad for my eyes. But when reading paper books, we can sit in a small corner in front of the bookshelf, with a cup of tea in our hands, flip through the books casually, and be happy when we think about it in the sun. To be honest, I like this feeling, and I like this feeling of swimming in the sea of books even more. In fact, many times we seldom read e-books when using smart phones or tablets. More often, we are watching plays, playing games and doing something for ourselves. However, reading is different. Especially when reading paper books, you can calm your heart and give yourself a buffer time. This is a better experience that paper books can bring us.

Paper books and e-books are actually two products that can replace each other. Although they have many differences, many places are the same. Faced with these two reading methods, some people will choose e-books, while others will choose paper books. I think there must be some balance between the two. Now, it is time to adjust this balance. When e-reading is just emerging, many people will definitely try this new way of reading. However, after I tried it, I knew whether it was suitable for me. You will make a suitable choice between paper books and e-books.

To sum up, I don't think this means that paper books will return, but that paper books and e-books will reach a balance.
