Advantages of eBooks

 

Though traditional books are still being sold today and there are those who still prefers the touch and the smell of a physical book, yet with this rapidly growing tablet market, eBooks are on the roll because of the myriad of benefits.  Some advantages of eBooks include not running out of stock, no need to go to a bookstore to purchase it, and you don't need to wait for shipping after purchasing it.  It is portable and convenient because it just comes with your tablet or mobile device.  No matter how many eBooks you have you can easily carry that much material around because they weight about half a pound and a manageable small size.  And for those who are really book worms, transferring to another residence means you do not need cardboard after cardboard boxes to make sure your books are safe.

 

It is not only the capacity that is its advantage, but it is also capable of tying in multi-media where you can extensively enlarge or augment classroom education.  It is capable of a lightning fast lookup of words and complete coverage.  It is very easy and quite instantaneous to look for words or phrases.  You can look up all the occurrences of a word in sequence and know that all of them can be found.  What used to be slow and difficult or impossible in hard copy is made simple with eBooks.  What is great about some eBooks at http://www.ernielindsey.com is that it speaks to the readers or reads the story or text to them.  Text to Speak or TTS have multiple functions which can greatly enhance the learning experience.  Other benefits are reduction of eye strain, improvement of foreign language learning, and promotion of listening skills.

 

It is also possible to take notes and highlight texts.  With an e-reader, your finger gains the power to change the color of what your finger touches.  You can also highlight words and phrases by pressing the word and swiping, and you can return to these texts later.  It is also possible to type your own notes on the text.

 

If you want to customize the text font according to your preference, this is also possible.  Pages where you last read are peeled out to let you remember where you left off, which is like bookmarking where you last read.

The only disadvantage perhaps of kindle ebooks is the aesthetic appeal and physical properties which are missing, but what you can do with your eBooks is to change how you want it to appear by changing, fonts, font sizes, or colors.  What is also one of the most considerable edge in the eye of a really book worm person is minimal expense.  They say that you can buy an eBook for the price of a dinner appetizer.  This also appeals to teachers and students.
