Before I started this research I didn’t have much knowledge that books were being replaced by electronic devices because I feel more comfortable reading a simple paper book instead of an E-Book. In every article they all show a different point of view and whether or not their for or against reading online but in the end all they really cared about was to receive knowledge or enjoyment from the book. Some additional research that might have backed up the point of views from the articles would be opinions from people who prefered reading a book on a E-Book and people who read from paper books to show that there is no right or wrong way to read a book.
