ABSTRACT:
Popularity of e-readers like Kindle is increasing day by day. Thus, literature is getting digitized. There are various pros and cons of amalgamating social media with literature. Recent experiment suggests that digital literary reading affects emotional aspects of reading adversely. But social media has helped emerging poets to grow their network and connect with other poets. Social media has helped emerging and established writers to form various groups which can help them to contribute their ideas and receive appreciation, recognition, and valuable feedbacks from other writers. Thus, social media can help them to polish their skills. Therefore, this article will focus on discussing both positive and negative effects of digitization of literature via using social media.
