HotlineApril 23 is World Book Day. Today, when digital reading is very developed, there has been a debate about whether e-books will replace paper books. The emergence of the "shared books" model seems to open a new window for the development of paper books. (April 23, China News Network)
For those who have feelings in paper books, after the advent of the Internet era, after the emergence of online reading and mobile phone reading, this phenomenon of frequent online reading, so no longer reading or reading less, all expressed deep concern. And called on the government or social organizations to take effective measures to intervene. For those who care only about national reading and don't care about reading, it is very worrying whether the citizens read frequently and whether they are constantly improving themselves. As for sharing books, will it promote the expectation or inquiry of the national reading paper books, or advocate the reading of the paper books, there is no other deeper meaning.
The author tends to "free reading", whether it is reading e-books or paper-based books, as long as you read it regularly, you don't have to say "three-four" to the choice of reading e-books. In fact, this is just a change and choice of reading channels. What is important is that the people who love to read e-books are still reading. This is enough. If the paper books are not read and the e-books are not read, then this is serious. The problem, because if a nation does not like to read, see reading as a trouble, or feel that reading is boring and tired, then this nation will certainly degenerate and be despised by other nations in the world.
Today, when the Internet is very developed, online reading has become a part of life. No one can completely refuse online reading. After all, online reading can make use of fragmented time. The total reading time of each person can be increased. This is already a kind of Lifestyle is also a way of reading and cannot be denied. With the continuous development of technology, e-books will continue to develop, which is easy to carry, and gradually overcomes the side effects of reading, enhances the comfort of reading, and choosing to read e-books is not a bad thing.
Of course, sharing books as a new way of purchasing paper books can to some extent make up for the lack of reading in paper books, that is, to overcome the problem of time and space. Some people who need to read paper books will choose to share books, or There is no doubt about sharing books with market demand. After all, online reading can't guarantee authority and rigor, especially when it comes to reading some important works. Therefore, as time goes by, people's reading needs and consumption patterns will also change. How to meet the reading needs of the public, provide a variety of Channels and ways to read are an important issue, not to entangle people to choose to read paper books or e-books, or others.
One question that needs to be reminded, or to be affirmed, is that more e-books are more environmentally friendly than online reading than publishing a large number of paper books. Because paper books consume paper, it is essentially to cut down a lot of trees and cause damage to the ecology. While reading e-books and online reading, including mobile phone reading, neither printing nor paper, there is no need to harvest trees in large quantities. Is this not a good thing? Therefore, it is not necessary to be too anxious about the phenomenon that some people love to read e-books. In fact, the biggest problem at the moment is that many people are obsessed with video games and do not like reading. This is a big problem.
