It is, though, a matter of individual choice which varies from person to person, I see certain minus points of hard copies of books vis-a-vis e-copies, which are given below:
1.Sometimes a kind of nauseating stench emanates from the very old books which might cause a nasal allergy to some people.
2.Being more voluminous, hard books occupy more space
3.More care and material needed to preserve them
4.Not very easy to carry in travel, in comparison to their new incarnation
5.Transfer/sharing of hard books is more difficult than e-books
6.Accessibility is more difficult. One has to either go to some library/shop or wait for the book-post delivery whereas e-books can be had by online payment (perhaps).
It is, however, good to keep/preserve hard copies, if one can, as a standby arrangement to
guard against any potential computer/network failure or cyber war. In fact, some of the books lose relevance after one read.
Harender, the ambience in a discotheque is not too bad either for love makers. Instead, it is neither safe nor enjoyable to take the girlfriend to any “khoobsoorat natural jagah” like Delhi’s Budh Jayanti Park or Nehru Park. Either, the security guards or policemen will blackmail you or the onlookers or passersby would spoil the day.
