Will online books replace printed books?
We live in the world that is being transformed under the influence of digital technologies. Books have also become available in digital form. We can choose whether to read traditional printed books, or purchase and read e-books, or read online books.
Online books differ from e-books, which are usually downloaded by users and read later on their computers, smartphones or on e-readers. Online books are only accessible while the reader is online. So in order to read an online book you need to have an Internet connection. That is the main disadvantage of this form of books. If you have no computer or smartphone and if there is no Internet connection, you cannot read. That is why I believe that printed books will never disappear. Besides, there will always be people who prefer physical, paper books to electronic versions.
Therefore, I think online books will not replace printed books, at least in the nearest future.
Заменят ли онлайн-книги печатные книги?
Мы живем в мире, который преобразуется под влиянием цифровых технологий. Книги тоже стали доступны в цифровом виде. Мы можем выбирать, читать ли традиционные печатные книги, или покупать и читать электронные книги, или же читать онлайн-книги.
Онлайн-книги отличаются от электронных книг, которые пользователи обычно загружают и потом читают на своих компьютерах, смартфонах или электронных "читалках". Онлайн-книги доступны только тогда, когда читатель находится "онлайн". Таким образом, чтобы почитать онлайн-книгу, нужно иметь подключение к Интернету. Это главный недостаток такой формы книг. Если у вас нет компьютера или смартфона и нет подключения к Интернету, вы не сможете читать. Вот почему я верю, что печатные книги никогда не исчезнут. Кроме того, всегда найдутся люди, которые предпочитают физические бумажные книги электронным версиям.
Поэтому, я думаю, онлайн-книги не заменят печатных, по крайней мере, в ближайшем будущем.
