DIGITAL BOOKS vs PAPER BOOKS
Nowadays, the number of people who read books in a digital way has increased a lot. I think that the main reasons of that are: the paper books are expensive and is easy for the people to get cheaper or even free books using digital devices.

I think most of the people prefer the paper books, but there is a lot of people that read more digital books to save money.

In my case I have only read an entire book in a digital way once, and I have to say that I prefer a hundred times paper books.

Here are some of the pros and cons of both of them:

ADVANTADGES OF PAPER BOOKS:

- You actually feel it like a book: you can turn the pages, feel the texture...

- It's a good thing to disconnect from all the digital screens, that can hurt your sight.

- You own the actual book, not only a digital version of it, so this means that you can place it on a shelf, lend it to someone, give it to someone...  whatever you want. 

- You can read whenever you want because you don't have to worry about the battery.

DISADVANTADGES OF PAPER BOOKS:

- Nowadays paper books are quite expensive.

- They are heavier and take up more space than ebooks.

- Sometimes you have to wait a lot for a book being translated and published into your language. 

- Paper books can be sold out and that is something that won't happen with digital books. 

ADVANTADGES OF EBOOKS:

- You can have a lot of books in just one digital device and you can carry the ebook wherever you want and it doesn't weight too much, considering the amount of books that you can have there. 

- Although you first have to buy the ebook, once you have it, the books in digital version are cheaper than in paper. 

- When a book is published you can have a translated version of it faster than if you want a paper book.

- There are dictionaries incorporated in the ebook, so you can search for a word instantly.

DISADVANTADGES OF EBOOKS:

- They have a battery, so you have to worry if the battery is full charged or not. If it isn't, the ebook can just ''die'' while you are reading, so you'll have to stop. 

- Not all the books have a digital version. 

- It's not good for your sight to be a lot of time in front of a screen, but if really like to read and you like to spend a lot of time reading, with digital books you don't have any other option than being in front of a screen. 

- They aren't like paper books: you can't turn the pages, they don't have any smell, the author can't sign you the digital book, etc.
