Digital text is more flexible than physical because we can change digital text, e.g. font sizes, color screen and styles. Our access to a printed book is more limited than digital book because the cost and space are restricted. It is true, the digital text offer different reading experiences, for example, the digital books for children, whose text is interactive and include images, audio, and video.
The book is not only paper, ink and cover; it is an object of humanity’s history.

Now the technology has contributed to evolution of digital book, which offer different reading experience according with readers age. I think that printed and digital books will keep on the future.

Keywords: Book – Paper – Experience – Elements – Flexibility – Presentation – Copies – Popularity – Designs – Read
Reading a book must be a satisfactory experience. It doesn´t really matter how the book presentation is: paper or electronic, the words and the stories must be the most important thing. The invention of the printing press helped the popularity of the books six centuries ago. Now, the e-books can be considered a new turning point in the reading history. The flexibility and diversity of their elements and designs are any advantages of this kind of books.

It´s difficult to separate between " a book" and "the reading". A book is more than a paper with words, it´s a pleasure, a habit and it´s the best way to know anything. For people who loves the books, the reading is the best part of to use a book, it´s be one with the story and you can feel into the pages, it´s a whole experience. For people who loves the reading, a book and the reading are an inseparable way to enjoy the life.
The book helped the development of humanity. I enyoy to be a reader, because the experience of reading a good book is one of the most important activities to do in life. I think that reading a physical book is a good choice because I like to smell pages and feel the texture of the book. Today some people like to read digital texts, but I believe it is a different way to read a book. The history about the evolution of the book is very interesting, the first printing texts from Guttenberg, the way how the Chinese invented the paper, the Egyptian papiros, etc, teaches us how the humanity learned to read and communicate. I think in the future with new tecnologies the humans will learn more and more about the best reading.

Part 2
The printing press marked a after and before in the evolution of the books. The people have had access more easily to information and this helped in the communication's process and acquisition of new knowledge. Originally the books use to use materials like: pasteboard, wood, paper, among others but today you can find them in a relatively new format: the digital. Both formats give flexibility to the needs and tastes of today's reader. Obviously the marketing play a important role to attract readers. For example with amazing covers or low prices.

I would pick the book on an electronic device 7. No, I believe many people prefer smell the books 8. I think the main difference is that you can salve in a small and useful device. You have your mobile phone, for example, all the time, so you if you have a short free time, you could read a part of the book. It is no necessary carry the book.
In book's affairs there are two positions clearly differentiated; physical and electronic books. The first one is the traditional; you can touch it, feel its weight and smell its pages. Conservative people, some students and retired workers prefer that kind of book. In other hand, the most of the young people and researchers use e-books often. Immediate availability, low cost (or free) and current information are some reasons for getting and reading books on an electronic device.

You can change the size of the font, the prices are most lower than physical book, and you can find some old version.
Feel the book and the "pass the page" experience are wonderful moments when you finally decide to take time away.
Second part A lot of people around the world prefer the feeling that produce carry one into their backpack, feel its pages smell and enjoy that sensation that produce to change the page.
Otherwise, electronic books offer some advantages for other people, you can have them just with a click, many of them are free or have low price, its weight is the same of your electronic device.
