I think that books as e-books are dead for some sort of people. Smart people, who want to be successful, read a lot of books and they love to do it because they know that everything that can be happen had already happened earlier.

Both paper books and electronic books are a part of teaching and learning.

That is the reason i felt, even we go for advanced courses teaching materials a minimum percentage of about 40 % reference books will be available as paper books.

So, I believe go on with both paper book and electronic book together, but electronic books cause some problems to our eyes as the usage ratio increase.

I guess we’re in a transitional period. The affordances of screen reading will continuously improve and expand, offering people a reason to switch to screens. 

As for me, I haven't read a single electronic book in my life. I only prefer paper ones.

Books are not dead. They're more essential than ever!

Storytelling is fundamental to human beings. It is how we explore and make sense of this world and understand one another. Because books absorb us and harness our imaginations, they are an essential medium for storytelling—as well as a satisfying one.

 

I prefer reading paper books.

No I belive Books are not dead, Yes there is a greater trend of reading electronic books but hard copy books are still being read all over the world. I exepect that reading electronic books will change back to hard copies when people will find out ill effects on their eyes for reading hard copy books

Books are forever :) Paper or electronic ones - it depends on personal tastes. Somebody prefers to take a single device with thousand books inside, but as for me, eyes get tired quite fast in this case. A paper book creates a special atmosphere while reading, but it is not comfortable to take it on a trip usually. Everything has its pros and cons.
