- · Incompatibility: since there are many e-book companies, it is difficult to keep track of what type of book is compatible with what device (phone, laptop, e-reader etc.)
- · Straining for eyes: when doing too much reading on an electronic device such as a mobile phone, your eyes tend to strain due to the LED light having an overall negative effect
- · Hacking: e-book readers are able to connect to the internet and when connected a hacker may be able to access his/ her files
- · New technology: the software and hardware you are currently using can become outdated and you may have to update/ upgrade it and this may cost money
- · Usually a credit card is required when purchasing an electronic item
- · Ease of theft: piracy of digital material is very easy
- · Not the same experience: reading hard copy allows better understanding according to some authors. Also reading pages and pages of a book while scrolling down on a laptop or tablet can get tiring and boring
