Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 3 page essay that discusses why hard-back books are better than reading books online. Reading a book is not the same as reading text on a computer screen. This is true for several reasons. First of all, there is the immediacy of hard-back book, as everything the reader needs is there, at the fingertips. There is also the factor of portability, that is, not everyone has a laptop or a book reader. Also, there is the problem of copyright and issues pertaining to access, which seem likely to continue to constitute obstacles to Internet access to recent books. Taking these points individually, the value of hard-back books is self-evident. Bibliography lists 1 source.

this generally involves downloading these intervening pages again, and this is more involved and takes considerably longer. In many on-line books, this problem is addressed by making the book
one long, continuous file, but, while this file contains all of the authors words, there are generally no landmarks in this access to a book, no page numbers, no line
numbers. Sometimes, those who digitize these books number the paragraphs, but often they do not. Most of the books in Project Gutenberg, for example, only have chapter headings to guide
readers in finding specific sections of a text. Secondly, theres the issue of portability. While some computer, such as laptops, are portable, and there are specific book-readers, which are
designed for portability, most people do not have portable computers available to them. They cannot take Walt Whitmans "Leaves of Grass" or the nature essays of Henry David Thoreau and
