Debate!: eBooks vs Paper books

Some weeks ago we had to debate about the books, in my case I had to support the motion on eBooks with Matias Urzua, the problem was that we were the last group in debating so our debate was cut because of the bell.

My first two arguments were: "More ecological way of reading" and "Easier to find and get the eBooks".
the debate developed very well, we totally agreed that we need paper books because of the price of them, but we also need an easier way of reading which would be reading on the iPad, Tablet, etc. And it's more ecological because we dont have to cut trees off. Aswell we just need Internet connection and we can get them without leaving our chair.

The against motion said: the following counter arguments, eBooks need internet so they can be stollen, and if you go camping and ran out of battery you'll not be able to read, also that you can plant trees on forests, and that the gobernment buys books not eBooks.

Well the debate was really good and developed well but sadly we weren't able to finish next class.
