Will e-books completely replace paper books in the future?

With the rise of mobile terminals and the faster pace of modern life, more and more people seldom read paper books, but go for e-books. I now use e-books for most of my reading, and I always read novels on my cell phone during my leisure time. Most of my colleagues around me do the same, and even many of my sisters around me buy e-books such as kindles for their children.

We use e-books more and more, but the future of e-books will completely replace the paper book, this is not only my personal thought of a problem, but also often appear in a variety of debates. I personally feel that e-books will completely replace paper books is impossible. Although e-books have portable, environmentally friendly, large amount of information, suitable for preservation, can be updated and many other advantages, for modern people have a strong momentum and huge space for development. But the full replacement of paper books is very difficult to realize.

The first point is that paper books and information is a preservation function, our archives, a variety of information, confidential documents need to be saved. Although electronic products can be saved using the Internet, cloud drives, etc., which seem to have more space and convenience, they are not as safe as paper materials, which can cause major losses in case of program errors or viruses.

Secondly, paper books and materials are more impressive, in learning and work, e-books may be more convenient to query, but often easy to forget after reading. And for teenagers, the book impression is definitely more impressive than the e-book impression, in the book to write a write mark a mark is definitely more memorable than in the document to draw a red line, and long-term on the phone to everyone's eyesight is not good oh.

Third, e-books do not have the pleasure of reading paper books, will bring people visual fatigue and psychological fatigue. Leisure time to take a book to read, finger touch the pages of the kind of feeling is e-books can not be replaced. Can also be in the library, coffee house and other leisure places, open a paper book to pass the leisure time, that kind of cozy is also irreplaceable. You can't imagine a person in the library with a cell phone to read it, that gives a person the feeling is definitely not relaxed and cozy.

E-books have a lot of advantages, but the personal future that e-books will not completely replace the paper book, because the paper book has its own unique value, it can not be replaced by the function of its popular groups. Just as we are now accustomed to typing and do not love to write, but many occasions we need to write and can not be replaced by typing, typing is not a substitute for the function of writing, the same e-books will not completely replace the paper book.
