2 What are the advantages of parents reading electronic books (compared to printed books)? (advantages)

When parents read e-books, the message sent to the children is that what they are doing is environmentally friendly as e-books are virtually stored, and they don’t take up physical space, and so all the e-books can be carried around easily.

Apparently, parents are often seen as old-fashioned and out of sync with time, so if parents would read e-books, they are keeping in sync with the development of technology. (74w)

当家长们阅读电子书时，给孩子们的信息是，他们所做的是环保的，因为电子书是虚拟存储的，他们不占用物理空间，所以所有的电子书都可以轻松地随身携带。

家长们通常被视为守旧，与时代不同步，因此如果家长们愿意阅读电子书，他们就会显出他们是与科技的发展保持同步。
