Online books and paper books have their own advantages. What are they?

Advantages of paper books: easy to find and create a quiet reading environment. Convenient to take notes in time, review and use in time. Some paper books are more memorable. Disadvantages: making paper books requires paper, which will increase the use of paper. E-books, advantages: e-books are easy to carry and can be viewed at any time in leisure.

E-books are easy to buy online, and you don't need to go to a physical store to buy them. They arrived soon, saving time. Disadvantages: the brightness of the e-book screen is not well mastered, and watching it for a long time will affect vision problems. Most people read e-books directly through their mobile phones, which is easily influenced by other factors such as the power of electronic products.

There is a saying among the people: "If you die, you will lose face, but if you live, you will suffer." This sentence was translated into written language by literati, and it is often expressed as: "A false name is a real disaster." China people's love of face may be a universal historical and cultural gene.

An important feature of Chinese is fuzziness and polysemy. The word "face" can also be understood in many ways. On the positive side, "face" can be understood as a sense of honor, and paying attention to "face" can become a moral and ethical measure to regulate people's behavior.

Therefore, the "face" you want is still important; On the negative side, the pursuit of "face" can easily become a manifestation of vanity, which will bring unrealistic harm to individuals or society. For example, the common "face project" that has no practical effect and wastes people's money is.

Recently, from the report of Shanghai Book Fair, we found a phenomenon that many writers of online literature are keen to print online novels into multi-volume paper books, but few people care about it. Some online writers explained the motivation of this behavior, saying that printing paper books is not for making money, and it doesn't matter whether anyone buys them. The important thing is to look as decent as the book.

While a large number of paper books are being digitized, seeking readers through the Internet and electronic media, online celebrities are not willing to be "lonely" in the field of traditional publishing, trying to enjoy the "scenery" of traditional publishing through offline publishing.

This "besieged city" phenomenon in which "city dwellers" want to rush out and "outsiders" want to squeeze in is very interesting and understandable. However, whether it is "going into the city" or "going out of the city", the most important thing is the publishing behavior that only seeks "face" without seeking practical results.
