Read the following information and write an essay of ABOUT 200 WORDS. It is an ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY AND A TITLE is NEEDED.
According to a new study, 92% of college students would rather do their reading the old-fashioned way, with pages and not pixels. The finding comes from American University linguistics professor Naomi S. Baron, author of the book Words Onscreen: The Fate of Reading in a Digital World. Baron led a team that asked 300 college students in the United States, Slovakia, Japan and Germany how they preferred to read. Physical books were the choice of 92% of the respondents, who selected paper over an array of electronic devices. It’s not just college students who’d rather spend their time with a book instead of an e-reader. In 2015, e-book sales dropped in the United States, and it’s the same story in the United Kingdom.

Sample 1 Paper Books or Electronic Books Nowadays many electronic devices emerge, such as Kindle and iPad, providing possibility for electronic books. However, most readers still prefer to read in the traditional way instead of using electronic books. Why do paper books win the landslide victory? Apparently, paper books are of greater value than electronic ones. Some readers are looking forward to a blissful atmosphere with a book in their hand, sitting in the sunshine comfortably. An electronic book can never fulfill the desire for this atmosphere. What’s more, the paper book is better for the eyes while the screen of the electronic book may do harm to the retina to some extent. Using electronic devices, the readers become absent-minded more easily as there are many temptations. What can’t be denied, nevertheless, is that the electronic book has its own special merits as well. First of all, it’s much cheaper. Second, it’s easier to be carried with. While some readers have to put a heavy paper book in the bag, the e-book readers merely take the phone. And lastly, the electronic book has larger coverage as some books or essays don’t have the paper version. Generally speaking, the paper books are irreplaceable, still playing the dominant role in the reading market. Electronic books are also indispensable. We readers should use both ways correctly. Sample 2 Reading in an Old-fashioned Way As scientific development has been a new trend of this era, words prefixed with an "e-" have been widely used and gradually become part of our daily routine. It’s an era of information explosion, and the creation and innovation of e-book technology meets the requirement and development of the network society. However, according to the survey, e-book sales dropped in the United States, as well as in the United Kingdom. It seems that people tend to read in the old-fashioned way. In my point of view, the reasons of this phenomenon are as follows. First of all, paper books can easily make people calm down. Leafing through pages and feeling the unique scent of paper is absorbing and intriguing. Secondly, books printed on paper are easily shared by people, since reading is not an individual activity. Thirdly, nowadays people enjoy the relative informality of reading, and reading paper books is a good way to make people totally unrestricted by time and space. Last but not least, paper books are usually cheaper than an e-book electronic screen. Generally speaking, reading in an old-fashioned way can meet the multiple needs of people nowadays. Scientific innovation gives us more choices and we are happy to enjoy the convenience of the golden times. However, reading in an old-fashioned way in the era of information fragmentation is a good habit that we should retain.
