Ebooks and E-Readers
What is an Ebook?
An ebook is a book in electronic format. It is downloaded to a computer, PC, Mac, laptop, PDA, tablet, smartphone or any other kind of reading device, and is read on the screen. It can have numbered pages, table of contents, pictures and graphics, exactly like a printed book.
What is an E-Reader?
An e-reader, also called an e-book reader or e-book device, is a mobile electronic device that is designed primarily for the purpose of reading digital e-books and periodicals.
Why would I want to use an E-Reader?
-
Since E-Readers are usually small and light, you can take them anywhere.
-
Instead of having to carry 3 or 4 books at a time, you can carry hundreds of books with you wherever you go.
-
You will never lose your page. The e-book reader saves your page for you every time.
-
If there is a book you want to read, it can be downloaded and ready to read in minutes.
