pros and cons of printed books
few people realize that printed books appeared about five centuries ago. books are still popular and help us to broaden our horizons, make us smarter and more educated. despite the invention of the radio, television, the internet and e-books, people still like reading printed books, and it is not surprising.
first of all, quite a lot of people prefer printed books for the smell and the feel of pages and colourful covers. besides, it is great to be able to see the progress you have made when you put the bookmark in. another advantage of printed books is that you can take them wherever you want. you do not need any electricity to charge them. you can read them anywhere, even in the places where gadgets are prohibited. finally, when you read this type of books, you can concentrate on the subject better.
unfortunately, printed books have a few flaws. firstly, it is their size. there are books that are thick and heavy, and they take a lot of space. if you have a lot of books in your home library it can take you about an hour to find the book you need. secondly, printed books grow old. their pages can get ruined. thirdly, printed books can be expensive to buy.
in conclusion i would like to say that it does not really matter what format of books we choose. our desire to read is much more important.
