Why People Prefer Ebooks?
An ebook is a book in electronic format. It is downloaded to a computer, PC, Mac, laptop, PDA or any other kind of computer, and is read on the screen. It can have numbered pages, table of contents, pictures and graphics, exactly like a printed book.
It is very simple and easy to purchase and download ebooks through the Internet. It is exactly like purchasing any other product. The only difference is that after payments you will either be directed to a download page or receive the download link in an email. All you have to do is click on the link and the ebook will automatically download to your computer, to a folder of your own choice.
After download ebook you don’t have to be connected to the Internet in order to read the ebook. You can stay offline. If you wish to have it printed, it is very easy. Just click on the print button in the ebook, to print it with your home printer.
Anyway, I can list the following obvious advantages (assuming you have an ebook reader) that offered by ebook:
They’re easily readable. Most readers offer zoom functions, letter resizing, and so forth.
They’re easily portable. You can carry multiple books on one device.
They’re much more environmentally friendly. You don’t have to kill a few trees for each book, and let’s not even talk about the ink. Recycling only goes so far.
Ebooks take up less space. You practically don’t need any space to store them. You don’t need a library or a room for them. You can store hundreds and thousands of ebooks in your computer.
Note-taking is much more powerful, and the notes you write can be found and referenced quickly and easily. And they don’t have to be permanent.
Ebooks can show links, for easy access to more information and related websites.
Lighting conditions essentially become meaningless. Many readers incorporate display lighting allowing you to read whenever and wherever you like.
Ebooks can be printable, so that if you wish to read an ebook in the traditional way, you can very inexpensively print it with your home printer or at any printing shop.
Fonts in ebooks can be resized, making it easier to read for people with disabilities. With additional software it is possible to turn some of the ebooks into audio books.
Actually there are much more advantages. Of course, it has its own disavantages, for example can cause eye-strain issues. Anyway, eBooks are useless without a reader. There are a few on the market, such as Amazon’s Kindle, Jinke’s Hanlin reader series, Sony’s eReader series, and a few others. These are mentioned because they incorporate a technology called e-ink, which resembles paper very closely, and eliminates most eye-strain issues.
Some types of ebooks especially suited for a reader to buy are:

5″ TFT Touch Screen E-book Multi Media Player with 4GB Memory
