The advantages of paper books:

1. Strong sense of immersion: holding a thick paper book, turning each page and feeling the texture, smell and weight of the paper can bring a strong sense of immersion.

2. Easy to read: for some older people, children and people who are not sensitive to electronic devices, paper books are easier to read and understand, and there are no problems with charging and storing electronic devices.

3. Easy to share: paper books can be easily lent to others or given to friends or family.

Disadvantages of paper books:

1. Expensive: Compared with e-books, paper books require more production, storage and transportation costs, and are usually more expensive than e-books.

2. Taking up space: paper books need to be stored on shelves or elsewhere, taking up more space and less convenient for people with limited space.

3. Weighty: Compared with electronic devices, paper books are heavier, which is less convenient for people who need to carry or travel.

Advantages of e-books:
