Journal 12

Books have always been the prime source of information but now that eBooks were developed, books have begun to become obsolete. Is this disappearance for the greater good or is the world losing a valuable asset?

    I like the new choice of topic. Very fascinating stuff and an issue that I'm fond of following, personally.

    My main concern here, however, is your premise. Books are not obsolete and though the e-book publishing world is growing, it hasn't dramatically displaced books yet. Maybe in the future? Be sure you are doing your research carefully and from good, reliable sources. Still, I love the question pose at the end. I think it's smart and gets right to the heart of the controversy.

    Also, there are some grammatical issues above, that I have fixed here, just for your reference:

    "Books have always been a prime source of information. However, with the advent of e-publishing, books are facing the possible threat of extinction. Is this disappearance for the greater good or is the world losing a valuable cornerstone of culture?"

    Good luck!
