Advantages of ebooks
- Ebook is easily accessible. You don't have to wait for a courier, and you can download a book to your device in minutes. Moreover, the ebook market is huge, and more and more publishing companies decide to publish their titles online instead of just print books.
- Electronic publications, compared to paper ones, are durable. You don't have to worry about the bent corners that can sometimes drive you crazy. The letters in an ebook do not fade, and the pages are not subject to damage.
- Many electronic publications in the form of ebooks are to download completely free of charge, thanks to an extensive library. Some companies use this format to pass the know-how, eg. about marketing, and sell ebooks to their customers or send them an electronic book via emails.
- Ebooks are just for you if you love to read, but the free space on your shelves is slowly running out.
However, many people point out that an ebook will never replace a paper book because they lack the smell of paper and the distinctive rustling of pages.
