What is an e-book?

An eBook is a book in electronic format. It is downloaded to a computer, PC, Mac, laptop, tablet, smartphone, or any other kind of reading device, and is read on the screen. It can have numbered pages, tables of contents, pictures, and graphics, exactly like a printed book.

eBooks offer many benefits and advantages, and this article shows a few of them.

An e-book is a lot like the books that you would find on our Library’s shelves but in electronic format. E-books can be read on your phone, tablet, computer, or e-reader. Search for them in our catalog, the same way you would regular books, or via specific tools in our E-Library.

We love all the formats that our Library offers—from books on CD to large print books, and everything in between—but, e-books do offer some benefits over other formats.

Before I received an e-book reader as a gift, I was completely against them. I was among those paper book fundamentalists that considered e-books almost as a heresy and reading them almost a mortal sin.

Gradually, reluctantly, I began to use my e-book reader, and to my surprise, I got used to it. It clearly has a lot of advantages over paper books, so I decided to take advantage of both worlds. Before, I read paper books only. Now, I would say that I dedicate 50% to e-book reading, and this percentage may increase in the future.

After download, 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 depending upon the conditions of the publisher.

After downloading, 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. Many publishers allow that. Just click on the print button, to print the eBook with your home printer depending on the conditions of the publisher.

E-Book benefits

Below you will find the reasons that made me change my mind about e-book readers:

1. Portability: My e-book reader is small and light. It fits easily in my handbag, so I take it with me everywhere I go.

Considering eBooks, such eBooks disseminate knowledge not pages, which means that it is not correct to evaluate the price of an eBook according to the number of its pages.

The price should be determined by the information offered its usefulness and its relevance, and also by the amount of practical knowledge, inspiration, motivation, tips and advice it offers, and the uniqueness of the information.

Keep in mind that you can also use your tablet to read, or even your computer. There are a lot of free programs out there for reading e-books.
