Ebooks vs. Printed Books
- Ryo :
-
Now/I’m thinking about buying some books.//
I’m wondering/which I should buy,/ebooks or printed books.//
Which do you recommend?//
- Moe :
-
Well,/I recommend ebooks.//
I have two reasons.//
First,/ebooks are easy to carry.//
You can carry hundreds of books/at a time/in one slim ebook reader.//
Devices such as tablets and smartphones/are very thin and light.//
What’s more,/you don’t need a bookshelf/to store books,/so you can save space/in your room.//
- Ryo :
-
You’re right.//
That’s an amazing feature.//
- Moe :
-
Second,/ebooks have useful functions.//
For example,/you can zoom in and out/to change the font size.//
So/I think ebooks are a better choice/if you don’t like reading small letters.//
Moreover,/using the search function,/you can quickly find the information/you want.//
- Jeff :
-
In my opinion,/you should buy printed books.//
One reason is/that they are simple to read.//
You don’t need any device or power source/to read them.//
So/you can enjoy books/anytime and anywhere.//
Besides,/you don’t have to refer to complicated instructions/to read printed books.//
- Ryo :
-
That’s a good point.//
Are there any other reasons?//
- Jeff :
-
Yes.//
The other reason is/that printed books enable you/to enjoy a book/as a whole.//
Each printed book has its own design,/size,/and texture.//
They are all important elements/of a book itself.//
I believe/that reading a book is not simply reading letters/but appreciating a piece of work.//
To appreciate a book fully,/you should choose a printed one.//
- Ryo :
-
All right,/thank you for your opinions.//
Both types of books/seem to have their own advantages.//
But this time,/I would choose printed books/because Jeff’s comment on their simpleness/sounded persuasive to me.//
Also,/I find it an interesting idea/that a book should be enjoyed/as a piece of work.//
That being said,/I agree with Moe/in that ebooks have attractive functions.//
I may try ebooks next time.//
