Advantages and 
disadvantages of printed 
and e-books 
By: Kristina and Sanja Tadić
Advantages of printed books 
• Before Gutenberg invented printing in 
1440, the book could only be written by 
hand. Therefore, every copy of a title 
could be a real little work of art with 
beautiful illustrations, interesting 
calligraphic elements, skillfully crafted 
cover. Hence, each book was a unique, 
extremely valuable, and therefore 
expensive.
• Printed books do not affect the vision 
as electronic, are easier to read, pages 
turn quickly and does not require the 
program to see the book.
Disadvantages of printed 
books 
• They are heavy to carry, I cannot read 
without light, to create pages for the 
book you need to cut a lot of trees, they 
take up much physical space, letters 
may fade and pages can easily be 
cleaved.
Adventages of e-books 
• E-readers are convenient for travelling. 
They are easy, compact, can be placed 
in a bag, and used when needed. Also, 
in it we can have up to 3,000 books, so 
you can forget about the tactical 
planning what to take on holiday, to be 
nice and fun, but not too easy or 
boring.
• Benefits of e-books are available 
24/7, the ability to search the entire 
text, contain additional elements, 
such as: dictionary with 
pronunciation, interactive table, 
interactive graphs, video clips, user 
ability to add own notes, active 
links in the text, updates and new 
editions quickly reach users, are 
more economical, cheaper for 
printing
• they do not take up physical space for 
placement, there is no need to cut the 
trees to be printed.
Disadvantages of e-books 
• E-text is harder to read than print, the 
pages are not turned fast, device for 
reading is needed, no standardization 
of formats, no quality control, are still 
unknown. 
• publishers love e-books because they 
are cheaper, faster and more 
accessible, however, the main earnings 
comes from printed books.
