Books vs e-readers

E-readers are getting more and more popular these days but I am convinced that they will never replace books. In my opinion books have a soul and people are still very attached to its ordinary form. Also, the paper format is comfortable, this type of book is positively the best companion during a lond and lonely journey. A lof of people say that the smell of paper and ink is really important. The pleasant smell can put you in a good mood and it is also able to bring back some memories. The smell is something that books have and e-readers do not.
Besides, books are much more useful that e-readers. You can point out the sentences you are interested in or bend page corners to mark where you have stopped reading. The books are also much better for people's health. It is claimed that e-readers can negatively affect our eyesight. The important characteristic of the book is that when you drop it in the water it is easy to dry it but when you do the same with e-readers it is impossible to fix it on your own. The only way is to buy a new one.
In summary, in my opinion the books will never lose to e-readers. The paper pages, the smell of the ink and the magic of the traditional book cannot be replaced.
