Will paper books disappear?
The statistics of paper books vs e-books show that paper books will continue to exist! Like monsters in horror movies, paper books don't die. The latest comparative data, research and investigation between paper books and e-books support this view. Printed books will continue to exist! Let's take a look at the most important statistics of e-books and paper books, and the main differences between paper books and e-books. A survey on book consumption and book format shows that the traditional printed version is still the most popular reading format for adults and children. According to the survey, in the past year, 72% of American adults read some form of books, 65% of respondents claimed that they had read a book in the past 12 months, 37% of Americans claimed that they only read paper books, 28% said they read both paper books and e-books, and 7% said they only read e-books.

A recent study shows that more and more people are reading on smartphones and tablets, which has led to the recent decline in e-reader sales. A report of 20 12 found that there are17.4 million active Kindle Fire users and 30.5 million iPad users in the United States. By 20 18, Amazon has sold nearly 90 million e-readers. Statista predicts that by 2023, e-reader users will count the advantages of e-books. The advantages of e-books are not paper and binding. It is the words and ideas contained in the cover. E-books contain all the words and information in the printed version, and there are some additional benefits: the main difference between e-books and paper books is the lack of entities. First of all, e-books are different. They are more portable than paper books. You can store the whole library's e-books on your mobile phone or tablet without taking up any physical bookshelf space.

Kindle libraries can be large and contain content suitable for people of any age. E-books take up very little data. Even if your data is limited, a dozen full versions will not occupy more than one trillion disk space. In this field, it is difficult for paper books to compete with e-books. Physical books occupy a lot of physical space. E-books have no fixed font size. Write these letters bigger for reading before going to bed. Or change the color of the font or background. The choices are endless and very convenient. Using e-book technology can make you read widely. You can use e-book technology to read widely. Your Kindle will investigate your reading taste of e-books and give suggestions according to relevant bibliographies. In addition, e-books have the advantage of a built-in dictionary. No longer guess the meaning of words out of context. You can look up the definition of words at any time. You can even search the details of the e-book you are reading online. E-books also provide a good way to record what you read. Digital notes can be exported to any text editor, half of your book report or online comment! Like all digital files, e-books are very convenient to share. Readers' community applications like Goodreads allow you to share your reading progress with others, just like a built-in book club, which you can join or join occasionally. E-books are also greener. The connection with stinking paper mills and unnecessary tree slaughter no longer exists. No glue, no expensive ink. Unlike paper books, e-books leave almost no carbon footprint. Advantages of paper books Paper books are a pleasure! The smell of newly printed pages, the smooth and silky feeling of fingertips touching the paper, the wrinkles and crackles when the story flows. The printed version provides a unique reading experience. Digital e-readers are not as attractive as physical books. Reading printed books is a tactile experience. You can feel it, smell it and remember it. This is one of the reasons why paper books are more popular with readers. Printed books touch readers on a more primitive emotional level.
