? ? ? ? the data provided by the chart above illustrates how students from a university read from the year of 2021 to 2021. the survey shows that printed books, ebooks and audio books all have users in the school, but their popularity is under change. ebooks see a decreasing popularity among students during the three years, while printed books and audio books are attracting a mounting number of students and printed books even become the most popular.

? ? ? ? ?there are several reasons behind this phenomenon. firstly, the widespread using of mobile devices such as flat computers, especially smart phones once made reading ebooks a fashion, because they were easy to carry. and ebook stores offered thousands of choices with relatively low costs. but as time went by, the disadvantages surfaced: long-time using of digital devices were harmful to eyesight, and ebooks can’t provide readers the same reading experience as paper books do. as many campaigns aiming to promote reading are launched in recent years, paper books regain more people’s favor. audio books just emerge and are still

gathering momentum. rather than “reading”, people can listen to audio books and free both hands. with many other advantages, we have reasons to believe that audio books will enjoy higher popularity in the future.?????
