六、阅读表达
Nowadays, e-books are a popular form of reading. People usually read e-books on their mobile phones. Some people like to read e-books on their personal computers.
At first, e-books were just for a certain group of readers and most of them were about only a few subjects. With the development of the internet, more and more knowledge and answers to different questions come from e-books. This is why the e-book business is rising quickly.

E-books have many advantages. Firstly, they help us save time. We don’t need to go to a bookstore to buy books. We can find the topic we want to know about on the internet, and then we can quickly get many e-books on this topic. Secondly, e-books help us save money. Many e-books cost us very little. Thirdly, because of e-books, we don’t need to cut down so many trees to make paper books, which helps protect the environment. What’s more, e-books make it more convenient to read. We can carry hundreds of e-books with us with the help of a small computer or a mobile phone, without worrying about their weight.

But e-books have certain disadvantages(缺点). For example, we need a personal computer or a mobile phone to read e-books, and we can’t read the information if the tool doesn’t support the file format(文件格式).
Whether you like them or not, e-books are becoming popular. They give us a new way of reading. But I don’t think they will take the place of paper books. These two kinds of books will co-exist(共存) and meet different needs.
31. Where do people usually read e-books according to the first paragraph?
