Will E-books Replace Traditional Books?

Recent decades have seen the rapid development of information technology. As a result, many electric inventions, including E-books, have found their way into our everyday life and have gained increasing popularity among common people.

It’s no wonder that some people hold the idea that E-books will replace traditional books sooner or later because E-books have various advantages over the traditional ones. To start with, all the E-books can be downloaded from the Internet directly, most of which are free of charge, while the traditional books in bookstores are much more expensive. What’s more, E-books can be stored more easily in our computers and are more convenient for people to carry around. Last but not the least, reading E-books has become a fashion in our life, which is particularly appealing to our young people.

As far as I am concerned, nowadays traditional books are still the leading means of reading. However, with further development of information technology and with the popularity of computer and Internet, E-books will surely take the place of traditional books in the near future.
