Books with No Covers

Nowadays, technology has developed greater than before. More and more technogical products have been created such as iPod, mp3, and e-books. E-books are very convenient but they lose their covers just as the article said. And I agreed with the article that the authors and the writers also lost their free advertising because e-books don't have covers. It's true that some of people are attracted by the cover of the book first, and so do I. I am a person who are always attracted by the cover of the book first, especially a book with a beautiful, creative, or specail cover, and than are the title or the outline of the book. And I'm also a person who keep an eye on the books of others while on the bus or the MRT. If i see what others read at that time, I will remember its cover. And I will check that book when I go to the booksore. If I think this book is worth, I will buy it, However, if the thing that they take is an e-book, ican't know what they are reading about. Actually, I think the most important point is the feeling of reading a book. I like to read the books because I can touch its papaers, Ican turn the papers, and I can make others know what I can make other know what Iam reading about. On the contrary, e-books can never do what I want. I think I am a person who own a concrete thing; for example, letters. I like to recieve letters more than e-mails at a speical date. E-mails are not like letters that can take out to read at anytime. And there is a thing that letters are very different from e-mails. the type of words which used in e-mails is too formal, but the letters' is very emotional. Letters are more meaningful because I can feel the writer's real feeling. Therefore, I think the importance of everything is not just only convenience. Some of the things should remain their original way so that they won't lose theit worth. That's why I like books more than e-books.
