题目内容
19.Ten years ago,many thought that the age of physical books was coming to an end.(31)DSoon,we'd all be reading on little electronic screens and laughing at the memory of places called"libraries"and"bookshops".(32)FAt least in the UK,as the Guardian noted,sales of e-books are falling while sales of physical books are rising.More surprisingly,it's young people who are buying the most physics books.More than 60 percent of 16-to-24-year-olds preferred print books to e-books.The most popular reason given us was:"I like to hold the product."
(33)AIt often starts with the way they acquire them.Many buyers of books like to sign their name on the inside cover when they've bought one.And we carry books around with us everywhere.If the cover gets bent or there's a stain made on the pages from coffee or food,all the better.These accidents make the book even more personal.(34)GA story we remember from our time turning its pages in our favorite armchair enters our memory forever.Physical books are precious to us as items of jewelry or photographs of family members.

readers remember more information read from physical books than electronic ones.However,there's no doubt that e-books are here to stay.(35)CBut it's also certain that physical books,which have been in production since the fifteenth century,are here to stay,too.
