Many people think that e-books are much better than classical ones, but others don`t agree. So, we will try to prove, if e-books are necessary to us? I would like to express my opinion on this problem.It goes without saying that nowadays computers take hold very much all over the world. We can observe this technological progress in everything. In addition everything changes and it has touched books too.Before we start let’s define the eBooks. This new kind of books represents the compacttablet computer device intended for display of the text information. The main difference between e-books and computers is a lot of time of independent work. E-books play the important role in our life.To begin with, I like to read very much and I do usually it at any opportunity. I adore books in firm or soft cover that’s why the procedure of choosing another book is held carefully. But in spite of this fact, I am inclined to buy e-books because it is convenient, practical, and economical. I understand that progress goes and sooner or later all people will get this device. By the way something stops them to do it. As well as any other devices, they have both advantages and lacks. If to speak about advantages they concern:1) Compactness. One device can store hundred and thousand books. Besides, such gadget usually is easier than a textbook.2) More options. It is possible to search in the text, electronic bookmarks, the dictionary is includedtoo. The e-book allows not only to read texts, but also to display pictures, multimedia clips or to play audiobooks.3) Text cost. Many texts in electronic form are free or cheaper, than the classical ones.4) When you need the certain information you can receive it immediately, simply having loaded the electronic book.5) Simplicity of the publication. The text is easier, faster and cheaplier to publish in electronic form, than in the paper.6) Ecological compatibility. To read texts in the electronic book the paper which manufacture woods are cut down for typical books isn`t necessary. Though e-books also demand an electricity expense, for their production the paper, ink and other resources aren’t spent.7) Electronic books are mobile. Modern electronic books will easily be located in your handbag.However there are many reasons which are against buying:1) As any electronic devices, these ones are much more sensitive to damage, than usual books.2) It is necessary to stress high price.3) Devices for reading of electronic books demand periodic additional charge.Finally, in the modern world any person, loving reading, faces sooner or later the same problem – the book which he wants to read can`t be got... The reasons can be various, and the result is one-there is no book, but you want it or it is necessary to read… And here the electronic book to the aid can come. To tell the truth, I want an e- book very much. Despite everything many people will choose an usual book and will confidently tell: "the simple book is much better". But whether they will be right?
