Do You Think Ebooks And Digital Notebooks Will Takeover Books And Notebooks

Do you think e-books will replace books in the future?

I don't think so. As long as people want to buy them, books will exist in the paper form.E-books already exist but I think that not many people would decide to read 300-page book, from the beginning to the end, from the computer or the e-book reader screen. It would be a draining torture for a lot of people.E-books amd tablets are great for some people, especially for reading recipes, news, e-mails or short literary forms, but who would like to read almost 900-page Anna Karenina from a tablet?The problem is that the screen light is artificial and some people simply hate looking at the screen for a long time.I believe that people get more tired when reading an e-book than when reading a paper book. Eyes hurt more.There is also a difference in the way that people read books and e-books.While reading a paper book people usually like to sit back in a cosy armchair or a sofa and enjoy the process. While reading an e-book, some people want to finish reading as soon as possible: they are skimming, scanning, scrolling down and skipping parts of texts or sentences just to get over with it. Therefore, comprehension suffers.Another thing that book lovers are missing when reading digital books is…paper. The smell of paper, the book covers, flipping the pages, putting cute page markers inside and the habit of underlining parts of texts.Paper books and coffee are two best friends.E-books are perfect for business.Paper books are perfect for pleasure.

Is reading on Kindle better than hardbound books?

I started reading a lot more after I owned a kindle. So for me kindle is better. I’ll try to list out the reasons where kindle is the clear winner in most cases and where it isn’t.Where kindle wins.Read during travel. Kindle is super convenient. It’s just lot easier to carry kindle than a bunch of heavy books.Read in the dark.No need to use bookmarks. You just can pickup from where you left off. It works across the devices. As in you read a bit on kindle, and you can continue right where you left off on mobile app.Ease of reading samples. Whenever I consider reading a book before buying I read the sample.Ease of buying books. I don’t have to wait for the book to be delivered or go to store to buy. I’ll get the book right away.Highlighting, this is supercool feature I use often. I can just highlight all the good quotes that are worth coming back to. I can email them to myself as pdf. I can share them on Goodreads.You can instantly lookup meanings ;-).Kindle version of books tend to be cheaper.Where kindle isn’t as good.Once you bring the “feel” into the argument, kindle loses. It doesn’t feel like a real book. No real feel of the paper. No fragrance of the paper.If the book has images that highly support the content. Say a physics text book or a comic. No point buying the kindle version. Images suck on kindle. No two ways about it. Just buy hardbound or paperback.If the mere presence of the book with you has some meaning attached to it. Then buy the paper version. I recently bought biography of Leonardo Da Vinci hardbound. Because it has lots of images of paintings and the pages of his notebooks in it. And also I have great respect for Leonardo, the physical presence of the book itself would motivate me.

Can computers replace books?

Anything can be explained by a good quotation:“Do you know why books such as this are so important? Because they have quality. And what does the word quality mean? To me it means texture. This book has pores. It has features. This book can go under the microscope. You’d find life under the glass, streaming past in infinite profusion. The more pores, the more truthfully recorded details of life per square inch you can get on a sheet of paper, the more ‘literary’ you are. That’s my definition anyway. Telling detail. Fresh detail. The good writers touch life often. The mediocre ones run a quick hand over her. The bad ones rape her and leave her for the flies. So now you see why books are hated and feared? They show the pores in the face of life.” -Fahrenheit 451Because, compared to computers, book has an enriched history, starting back to the earliest time when men began to grasp how to pass down knowledge in the most efficient and meaningful way; books offer this wonderful experience - of handling it, feeling its texture (is it old? is it new), reading the printed line, and figurative speaking, bringing the readers a little closer to life being told in the book. And of course, it is just a matter of medium by which knowledge is passed; however, I am hopeful that printed books will survive even through most advanced age of technology, maybe due to the fact that we are suckers to traditions and history.For me, there is another thing with closure. I would feel closer to the book on a personal level than a computer or any reading device that provides nice lighting; I would feel as if this particular book belong to me, written for me, dedicated to me. Pragmatically, I might get by with a cool looking device; I might understand of what being said between the lines; I might be glad that, finally, a book that I don’t have to paid for; nevertheless, as time passes, I would feel that this thing I read does not have a life, which is defined by how it looks and feels - the texture, the weight, the dimensions, how it smells - the pages, the cover, the binding, etc; I cannot connect with it, I cannot relate to the words it speaks, and worst of all, I cannot understand the message it’s trying to convey.In summary, there is the element of humanity when it comes to books, as they have been best of our companions since the dawn of men; of course, in the exception of stone tablets, I miss stone tablets.

Can e books replace paper books?

Yes E-books have the potential to replace paper books Lot of people who argue otherwise are those who have grown with paper books , and so the idea  that they would become obsolete is unacceptable.

You can use it to transfer all types of files like music, photos, videos between a computer (PC or Mac) and iOS device (iPad/iPhone/iPod touch). It will work with the any iOS device with iOS 5 or newer version like 10.
