EBOOKS
Are Books Too!!!
by: Shadha Kudrath Ali
Electronic books – that is books you read on
the computer- have the same information and entail
the same reading experience as books in the traditional
form – that is books you actually hold in your
hands. An ebook looks just like a Microsoft document
but it is transformed into an ebook format such as
PDF where the reader cannot make any changes to the
document. There are other points of comparisons of
ebooks and just regular books.
Anybody can buy an ebook the traditional way, just
walk into a bookstore but with ebooks you have to
have a computer and internet connection and also a
credit card which presupposes your finances are in
good order for the bank to allow you a credit card
while with a traditional book no matter your financial
situation even if you do not have a credit card you
can purchase one as long as you have some money.
Suppose you were looking for a book on a particular
subject and your local physical bookstore does not
carry books on such subjects you can always find books
on such subjects on the net (and even subjects you
have never dreamed of) and you can purchase a book
from someone halfway around the world and have it
in minutes!
An ebook is not a book you can physically hold in
your hands and it can be irritating to sit in front
of your computer to read an entire book while you
can curl up with a traditional book anywhere but with
ebook readers this make ebooks portable just as the
traditional books.
You flick through pages of a traditional book but
you scroll down the pages of an ebook.
You can make copies of a traditional book with a photocopier
while with ebooks with just a click of a button in
mere seconds you can make an entire copy of a book.
You cannot hold ebooks in your hands but the pages
will never yellow no matter how long you have it nor
get doggie ears no matter how much you read it. The
pages will always be crisp and new as the day you
bought it (unless your computer is invaded by a worm
which destroys all documents on your computer).
