Can e-book replace the printed books
With the rapid growth of information technology and popularity of digital devices, e-books have played a vital role in our daily life. Some people hold that e-books can replace traditional books while others are against it.［点明有人支持电子书，有人不支持］
It is known to all that e-books are easy to carry, allowing users to read anytime and anywhere. However, the constant use of digital devices may contribute to vision problems and affect our reading experiences. By contrast, though the printed books have limited storage capacity and may lead to the paper waste, they allow readers to form a personal connection with the text, making it easier for us to take notes over e-books and review information. ［阐述电子书和纸质书的优缺点」
In conclusion, I personally believe that printed books having advantages over e-books will not be replaced by e-books.[点出自己的观点]
【高分表达】
