Over the years technology has evolved, ebooks are now replacing real books, but will printed books really go extinct? Isabel and Brandon argue this. While they both use similar examples to benefit themselves they also have examples that are unique to their own individual editorials.
    Isabel uses many examples that are unique to her own editorial. One example of this is in paragraph three when she said, “Dropping a device or spilling water on it could be the end of your eReader… if you drop a book all you have to do is pick it up…” she uses this example because it shows that printed books could be better than eBooks because you cannot break a printed book as easily as you can break an eBook. Also that spilling water on your book does not always mean it is the end of it like it could be with an eBook. It is clear, Isabel has a unique example that she effectively uses in her editorial.
In addition, Brandon also has many unique examples in his editorial. One example of this is in his letter which reads, “The best part is that you can do it from your home or pretty much anywhere… It’s like having a bookstore in your very own home.” this was not mentioned in Isabel’s essay. Brandon shows the reader that having an eBook may be better than real books. Brandon also writes this to convince the reader that eBooks are easier to use when getting books, rather than to get a printed book from a library. Clearly, Brandon has unique examples from his essay to support his ideas about eBooks.
Though Brandon and Isabel have many different examples, they also use a few of the same examples. One example that is similar between both editorials is the use of the idea that you can get hundreds of books on an eBook. While Brandon uses this idea in a more positive way saying that, “An ebook can store hundreds of books… without having to use paper.” using this statement in this way sheds light upon the fact that books need paper but eBooks do not, therefore saving the environment. Isabel, on the other hand, uses this in a negative way by saying, “...download hundreds of books… does not compare to the variety.. at a library or bookstore.” using in this idea this way shows that she thinks that real bookstores contain a bigger variety of books and that eBooks are not as authentic as a library or bookstore. As you can see, Brandon and Isabel use similar ideas for different purposes.
In conclusion, Isabel and Brandon have many similar and unique examples in their essays. I think that printed books should be kept around because there is nothing better than the feeling of a real book in your hand. While I feel this way I can understand why Brandon has this opinion for using eBooks. This is an important debate because books are a very large part of many lives and with the ever advancing technology, people are bound to have differing preferences as to how they want to read. In reality this argument one can neither win nor lose because both sides have valid arguments.
