Introduction

In the early 2000s, the tablet was introduced, along with e-readers like the iPad and Kindles. The creators of these gadgets hoped and claimed that they would transform how people read their beloved novels and books, and it has and will continue to do so for many people, but recent numbers suggest that the e-books bubble may have burst. E-book sales have decreased recently, but traditional book sales have stayed stable, with a little gain.

Body

On the surface, your tablet may appear to be more durable and less likely to be damaged than your paper book. However, iPads or Kindles, no matter how well they are cared for, usually do not last beyond five years. A book that you buy, on the other hand, is yours forever. You'll be able to pick up a book you bought today and read it in twenty years, if preserved well. However, the e-book formats of today might not be compatible to the gadgets in use twenty years from now. 

Traditional printed books are a terrific way to share information. If we like a narrative, we want to tell our friends, "You have to read this," after we complete it. You can share a print book with them by just handing it to them to read. To share an e-book, however, you must first go through a digital minefield of protections and agreements, after which it appears to be as simple as sending an email.

E-books have some advantages as well. They are much cheaper than paper books and are accessible to everyone. Often times, e-books are more easily procurable than out of print hard copies. 

 Conclusion

To summarise, reading is a very personal activity, and the way of reading is likewise a personal one. On the one hand, many people may believe that the advantages of paper books outweigh the advantages of e-books, while on the other hand, another group may disagree, and at the end of the day, it is a personal decision.
