eReaders Vs Books

In Ancient times, they drew on walls, tablets of clay, picture depicting the story, Did that make the words less engaging or interesting? Then there came manuscripts, and finally paper, does it really matter what or how we read the written words.
There is no disputing that the eReader continues to be one of the hottest selling items on the market. Why? Is it a novelty item, should we all move into the 21st century and embrace it, or should we dig our heels in as sometimes things are just worth fighting for.
But It has been suggested that reading a paper book is faster than reading an eReader...that surprised even me, some of the perks are you can pick up a book, drop it on the floor and pick it up where you left off, do this with your ebook and you may find it broken.

The publishing of books, newspapers are statistically renowned for being a huge factor in the enviromental world, not only to our trees, but also our water resources too.
We know that in order to make our books, we chop down vast amounts of trees, however a book can last as long as you want it to. It can be re-cycled as many times as you want it to be. I take some of my books to the local charity shop where I hand them over and buy some new books to bring home.
