5 reasons why an e-book is better than a paper book

There are many different options for reading formats these days. For instance, you can use smartphones, tablets, computers and even e-readers to engage in a variety of book genres. Still there will always be paper copies of some books which are still sought after by many readers.

Here are a few reasons why you should opt for an ebook.

This isn’t often the case in real life scenarios, which may see homes with stacks of books or a lack of storage space in some rooms. One e-book can hold an entire library and more.

Those who are interested in reading a new book typically have to do some digging. If you’re lucky, there might be one on display at the bookstore, but otherwise you’ll need to explore your options and find it somewhere else. If you live in a major city, it shouldn’t be hard to find. New items or old rare editions that people might be looking for won’t reach small towns and they’ll find it difficult or even impossible to find them in physical stores. When you are looking for a book and can’t find it, it is much easier to search the internet from your phone and have the book delivered to you within minutes, versus having to surf all over town or worse yet, order through an online retailer and wait for it to get delivered. Plus, e-books are always at least two times cheaper than paper ones. The high quality paper publishing industry is becoming increasingly costly and e-books offer a quick, cheap alternative.

When you’re thinking about what book to buy, it can be tempting to lean towards paperback editions–especially when considering a high-quality hardback edition. But the act of using a paper products versus electronic.

Technologies often seem greener, generally speaking, than the familiar thing they’re replacing. So, even though e-books may have a much smaller environmental footprint than physical books – their carbon footprint is still significant. So, according to an Amazon-commissioned study from Cleantech Group, it was found that the production of one e-book provokes the release of 168 kg of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere or 7.4 kg for regular books. Therefore, Carbone 4 and Hachette have joined forces to combat this issue. According to them, a paper book leaves behind 1.3 kg of CO2 and Sony Reader first generation – 235 kg. So 23 print books add up to the same amount of carbon emissions as one digital ebook, but hundreds of times more digital works can be downloaded than physical ones. If you read a lot and often, then using readers can be just as environmentally friendly.

Carbon dioxide may be used by flora as a nutrient. Paper books could remedy this as they can be recycled more often than technological devices and are not toxic. Amazon is recycling its old Kindle’s. More precisely, they’re finding new ways to use and reuse the parts of the device.

There are countless ways to consume content, be it on TV, from a Kindle, or on a PC. Of course all of these will have an impact on the environment to some degree.

As a compromise, you can save the most valuable books in print, such as classics that you don’t want to read on an e-reader. Novelties and recent books are better off being saved in an electronic format – so readers have access to both.

Paper books are old-fashioned and the future belongs to digital content.
