Will eBooks eventually replace paper books? Why?

Paper books will be weakened, but not replaced.

In the past few years, as copyright awareness has increased and reading applications have matured, users have gradually become accustomed to spending some "reading beans" to buy a few of their favorite books to read on their IPad or cell phone. But reading e-books can be a distraction, and online education products are the same as mobile reading is cut off by WeChat microblogging and other time fragments into an average of less than 15 minutes, resulting in a decline in the reading experience.

Paper and e-books have different usage scenarios, and to a greater extent can be complementary. For example, when waiting for the subway or high-speed rail, the cell phone signal is often not very good at this time before the download of a good e-book can be useful: waiting for a few pages, is not lost as a fragment of time to make reasonable use of.

The improvement in quality of life brought about by the Internet can be reflected in the increased efficiency of many niche scenes. For example, I drive in the evening in Los Angeles on the road often encountered no less than Beijing traffic jams, moody listening to music is also difficult to get pleasure: this time with the voice of the book APP to listen to a book may be the best choice. Driving time can be allocated to "reading" the least energy so APP is the most suitable, waiting for the car a little more so read e-books, and paper books are in the leisure time to devote themselves to the enjoyment of reading. Paper media to a greater extent than the competition should cater to the different needs of readers to stabilize a place.
