An e-book (for electronic book: also ebook) is
the digital media equivalent of a conventional printed book. Such
documents are usually read on personal computers, or on dedicated
hardware devices known as e-book readers or e-book devices.
Advantages
The e-book has several advantages over physical materials:
- Text can be searched automatically and cross-referenced using
hyperlinks, making the e-book format ideal for works that benefit from
such functions.
- Less physical space is required to store e-books, and hundreds to
thousands of books may be stored on the same device
- Because they require little space, e-books can be offered
indefinitely, with no going out of print date, allowing authors to
continue to earn royalties indefinitely.
- Readers who have difficulty reading printed books can benefit from
the adjustment of text size and font face.
- Text-to-speech software can be used to convert e-books to audio
books automatically.
- E-book devices allow reading in low light or even total darkness
by means of a back light.
- An e-book may be more comfortable for some to hold because it need
not be held open like a physical book and can also be set down and
read without needing to be held.
- It costs little to reproduce or copy an e-book, which is ideal for
archival and backup purposes.
- Ease of distributing e-texts means that they can be used to
stimulate higher sales of printed copies of books.
- E-books can often be purchased from reading devices themselves and
do not require one to visit a bookstore to obtain.
- Although they require electricity to be read, the production of
e-books does not consume the paper, ink, and other resources that are
used to produce print books.
