We learned that it is better to use paper books because eBooks can cause headaches and decrease comprehension. Paper books are better for your eyes. Looking at an eBook can cause blurred vision, redness, dryness, and irritation that paper books do not.

“Printed books help foster your brand’s positive environmental practices because when you use paper products, you’re actually doing your part to help the environment – major purchasing criteria for most consumers. Paper, packaging, and boxes are easily recycled because they come from a natural, highly renewable resource – trees. Choosing paper and paper-based products also encourages the growth and upkeep of healthy forests – nearly twice the number that is utilized today – to make the products we need!” Sun Print Solutions

Considering the benefits of reading physical books we think that schools should use paper books. More and more text books are now going online even though it is not helpful for the students. Research shows that students learn more from physical books which leads to increased test scores. In addition, paper books do not leave the students with the physical issues of blurred vision and headaches.
