Books are printed on paper because paper is a superb and inexpensive medium on which to print them. Since paper and paper making have developed with man's technology, if there was something better to print on that combined the low cost, ease of manufacture and of application to printed material, we'd have found it by now. It might be argued that ebooks are better, but ebooks are not printed material in the true sense.

What does letter printing mean?

http://desktoppub.about.com/cs/intermediate/a/measure_paper.htmThe difference between "Letter" size paper (8.5 x 11 inches) and A4 paper depends on where you are; each size is the standard for letters, magazines, copy machines, and desktop printing.A4 (210 mm x 297 mm), the standard in most countries outside North America, is not quite as wide as Letter size (approx. 216 mm x 279 mm) paper and is longer. When exchanging documents this difference can cause problems. For example, a document formatted for A4 paper must be reformatted (possibly causing page numbering and referencing errors) to print on Letter size -- otherwise information at the bottom of the longer A4 page may be lost. TIP: When photocopying A4 pages to Letter size paper, reduce the pages 94% to fit the shorter paper. When photocopying Letter size pages to A4 paper reduce the pages 97% to fit the slightly narrower page (or risk losing margins or text that appears near the page edges).

Why are books made from paper?

Paper has proven to have long-lasting qualities that other printing materials. Before paper was produced, egyptians used a paper-type papayrus but later discovered that it degrades quickly over time. The lack of sodium nitrate and mesolorite compounds in papayrus cause the ink to fade and the material begins to develop cracks. Before today's paper was utilized, cloth, canvas, leaves, animal hydes and petrified mammoth bone were used. Paper was first invented by Matias Gutierez III from Madrid Spain in 1089 a.d. He was cutting down a birch tree when the bark peeled off and resembled a scroll. He then invented the world's first steam press and became the first mass-producer of what we know today as paper.
