E-book sales had been relatively stable or even begun to drop, according to the Association of American Publishers. It was the only category (种类) to suffer a drop in the AAP survey.

Seventy-seven percent who had tried e-books said they tended to prefer print books.

Answer 1

【答案】With the development of technology, while readers in America have various choices of reading methods, such as e-books and audio books, the print books still have a place among readers, especially the children under 18.

As for me, I stand firmly as a fan of print books. Enjoying a book in print is a far better experience so that I couldn’t imagine missing out such a simple pleasure.

For one thing, there’s nothing quite as satisfying to the brain and the heart as opening a new book for a few hours of entertainment. The scent of the paper and the elegant design of the cover give me a unique pleasure that is not gained from tapping or swiping a screen. For another, we cannot abandon some traditional methods easily in that they still offer us important values. For example, parents still view print books as excellent gifts for kids and a first visit to the library is considered the beginning of the journey into the wonderful world. Besides, we can’t share an e-book, nor can we add it to our cherished bookshelf collection.

Anyway, the experience of reading in print has no substitute even in the digital era.
