Why people prefer a printed book over an eBook?

In these days is very common that people prefer to buy an eBook instead of a printed book. Some people now feel more comfortable using new technology because new technology can be very practical and can do more than one thing on an  e-reader. However I do not think reading eBooks are the same as reading on a regular printed book.
                My personal opinion is that there is no way I would Change my regular books over an eBook. I like to have my favorite books in my hand. I do not see myself with an eBook because I love to have and to watch all my favorites books together Besides reading I like to collect them. I have an area for my entered books collection in my room.  Every time I enter my room I sat on my bed and watch my bookshelves full of books and feel joy of have read those many books.
                I prefer the regular printed books. When I read I like to feel the smell of an old book. I love feeling the pages as I read. I like to admire my entire collection of books and to be proud and show it when I have guest at my home and to be able to just read it as many times I want to and to share it with my friends.

             Even though people who use eBooks said that they can get them as soon as they come out and not having to wait until arrive to the bookstore. They get them with a price cheaply than a regular book. However eBooks are not too convenient to use. The screen can hurt the eyes, it needs to have internet and give headache and if I want to share my eBooks, I would have to give my e-reader.

                In other words I would never change my books. I like to feel the satisfaction to see all my books I had read to be able to share with my family and friends.  I believe books are history no matter what type of books they all are books and no matter how many eBooks exist I would never change from reading printed books.

  1. Yes, I have a same opinion like you about the ebook and printed book. I like printed book because it me feel really real that I am reading, I can touch words, and feel the paper smell, and I can collect them too. Ebook just have one convenient that we do not bring a lot of books when we go a vacation, and a negative aspects are not good for eyes, readers cannot remember words well like in a printed books.
