It is not that I am worried about this problem. A few days ago, the famous Bertelsmann book chain company announced that it would close 36 chain bookstores in China before the end of July. This news is no small matter for traditional bookstores, which means that the survival pressure of traditional bookstores is quite great, and online bookstores are developing very rapidly.
As a multinational company in Germany, Bertelsmann has been very influential in the global book market. The large-scale withdrawal of traditional bookstores in China now shows that traditional bookstores cannot compete with online bookstores.
Of course, the fact that traditional bookstores cannot compete with online bookstores does not mean that traditional books cannot compete with online books. It is possible that everyone is used to buying books online, but the way to buy books is different. However, there is an indisputable trend that more and more people are used to reading online, including me. I read newspapers and magazines now, mostly online, instead of buying paper.
In the Internet age, the amount of information is a thief, and so is the reading speed of internet addicts. Nowadays, it seems that more and more people are reading online, and the traditional paper books are facing an impact, and the circulation is gradually shrinking.
Unfortunately, the current e-book companies are irresponsible and not serious, and the electronic version will be put on the shelves without proofreading, which will affect the quality. I have worked with Shusheng E-book Company for e-books, which makes me feel that the current E-book company is very irresponsible. They get the electronic version and put it on the shelves without proofreading, which affects the quality and hurts the subscribers.
I am used to reading newspapers and magazines online. But for books, I am still used to reading traditional paper books, and I also advocate that people should read books mainly with traditional books.
However, the development of history sometimes does not stop or shift because of some people's habits, and the trend is irreversible. So, will traditional bookstores gradually withdraw from the historical stage? If so, how long will it take to quit?
Comments:
1. No, it will coexist, but e-books can't replace paper! Holding a book in hand, smelling the book, immersed in between the lines, there are some things that the monitor can't fully express! In addition, you can move freely and watch everywhere without electricity! Some people get dizzy when they look at the monitor! Paper has its own advantages! It will last for a long time with e-books.
I don't think so. There are also great problems in the development of e-books, and traditional paper books have great advantages. Personally, I feel that it is not easy to concentrate on reading online, but this will not happen on paper. And as LZ said, there are too many mistakes in e-books.
This is a question worth thinking about. For young people, online reading is very convenient and time-saving, but for the elderly and primary school students, paper books are better. Online reading challenges our traditional reading habits. Get used to it!
4. Whether you buy books online or in a bookstore; Whether it is online reading or book reading, all parties have the value of existence, just giving us more choices for consumers. Validity is the reason for existence, so don't worry about which side will be replaced, just enjoy the convenience brought by human progress!
5. Yes, books, especially masterpieces, can be read repeatedly, are collectible, have good paper quality, can be carried around, sit, recline, lie down, take a bus, park, anywhere, and books on the Internet can only be read by computers. Sometimes it's really tiring and harmful after a long time. Moreover, the advantage of traditional bookstores is that they can browse and preview, and only buy what they like, including packaging, materials, printing and typesetting. How do you know unless you see it with your own eyes? You'd better know in advance what books to buy, which may be recommended by others, and then buy and sell. It is really convenient.
6. It will have an impact, but it will not completely replace it. Because the premise of the network is that there is a computer and electricity, and the most important thing is that the network is smooth. All three are indispensable. For those who rely on the Internet, nothing can be done. However, paper books can be read at any time as long as they are bought back. When a book is really well written, you will feel owned and fondled when you get a paper book, but what about online books? Although I read it for free and archived it, I really don't feel like collecting it. E-books are based on electricity. You can't see anything without electricity. Paper books can never be completely replaced. But I think it will take up less and less. Electronics need energy supply and display screen, paper doesn't, and it needs to be handled according to the environment.
7. Can paper books find keywords? Can you read aloud by yourself? Can you remotely link to other materials in time?
If you want to turn the electronic version into paper, don't you just type it out?
Discuss it. . . Are you a little retarded?
8. That's a good question. I think it's like the competition between TV and radio. In the end, paper books will find a way acceptable to everyone. At that time, TV was ambitious to completely replace radio, but in the end, radio at least found its own living space.
At present, e-books cannot completely replace paper books. For example, the equipment for reading e-books uses electricity after all, and the fragrance of books will still attract many people. The sense of accomplishment in reading can be seen from the rows on the bookshelf. Many people like to browse books manually, and it is convenient to read a lot of materials at the same time. In many ways, e-books still have no absolute advantage. In addition, what will happen to this market if paper books find a way to cut prices sharply? In fact, some people like reading e-books now, because it doesn't cost a penny. On the other hand, if the intellectual property rights on the Internet were more perfect and you had to pay for reading e-books, what choice would you make?
9. E-books and paper books have their advantages and disadvantages! The electronic version is easy to find and can be searched. As for which is good, I really can't say which is good. Perhaps, the paper version is better! Because when you look at things on the computer, you can look at small things for a while, but not for a long time! Eyes can't eat, it's easy to get tired! And when I browse online, I usually only pay attention to news and some entertainment things! The paper version is definitely better than the electronic version! Easy to remember is one of them.
Moreover, the electronic version has no paper image, and over-extraction is easily unacceptable! Just some unimportant things. If all materials are fully networked, then I think people's thinking ability should be reduced!
