Paperback editions vs. eBooks
The world is changing fast and keeping in pace with
it is challenging. There is a saying, “Nothing is permanent, but change is!!”
“Change is difficult at first, messy in the middle
and gorgeous at the end.”
The way of reading has changed for some time now,
with the advent of eBooks and is popular among readers. And its popularity has
grown from strength to strength with time. The 44th edition of Indispire has brought discussion to the table, of between paperback and eBooks which is better.
Though I personally wanted paperback editions to win
over eBooks because of the physical touch it gives to the readers and its
smell, but there was a dilemma. And I had to fight with my thoughts and my
words, when I started to write about them. I thought it to be easy; giving
paperback editions a clear winning edge over eBooks in my thoughts, but putting
thoughts into words was very difficult. I just couldn't distinguish between
them, and had to let go of the differences.
To differentiate between them, is to wage a war, which
is completely out of the context, for they are two sides of the same coin. Though
#paperbackvsebooks
was created, but eventually it became a win-win condition. For whatever the
writer decided is better, it was always reading that was enhanced and I then realised,
that things change with time. And everyone who has written under the hash tag
paperbackvsebooks must have been torn apart to make a difference between the
two. It is better not to find which is better and which isn't.
Knowledge is power and is above everything and
anything for that matter. And change is the only thing permanent. Long live
Paperback editions along with it successors and may it rise like a Phoenix, in future,
if its kingdom is ever challenged.
Thank You all,
Kishan Chand Swain.
