Since the rise of the novel, people have considered books as the prevailing source of entertainment and as a way of keeping abreast of the daily news. For the people of the
18th century, reading hefty volumes of fiction was a time killer while spending long hours on the train.
Even though the concept of the book has not changed until modern times, its form has undergone significant changes.
Much to literary critics' outrage, technological novelties have started replacing traditional books. Recently, ebooks have overshadowed Gutenberg’s printing press and revolutionized people’s reading habits.
Given the fact that more and more users prefer digital books to printed ones, it is worth investigating the differences between these two. There are three main aspects of paper books and ebooks which could be compared, namely accessibility, availability and environmental impact.
