Book business: figure against paper

We live at the crossroads of two epochs in literature: electronic books replace electronic books, but the former do not intend to give them up.

• Reading

Probably everyone at least once heard the phrase "I can not read from the monitor." Reading a printed text on paper is really pleasing to the eyes of most people and, as is commonly believed, causes less harm to vision than reading from an electronic medium.

• Storage

An extensive home library is very cool, especially when you have a large house where it can be stored. However, the existence of a library is rather a matter of status, to which we will come later. As for the practical part of storage, here, probably, it is not necessary to explain that e-books benefit from paper by all indicators: on one flash drive there is more text than you can read in your entire life.

• Publication

The publication of a paper book requires a lot of labor and material costs, not to mention the fact that the main material for its production are all your favorite trees.
