Ebook A History of Ebook 5 G An electronic book (or e-book) is a book publication made available in digital form, consisting of text, images, or both, readable on the flat-panel display of computers or other electronic devices. In the 2000s, there was a trend of print and e-book sales moving to the Internet, where readers buy traditional paper books and e-books on websites using e-commerce systems. With print books, readers are increasingly browsing through images of the covers of books on publisher or bookstore websites and selecting and ordering titles online; the paper books are then delivered to the reader by mail or another delivery service. W Where we are With e-books, users can browse through titles online, and then when they select and order titles, the e-book can be sent to them online or the user can download the e-book O Our solutions 1. 2. 3. Advantages B K S In the space that a comparably sized physical book takes up, an e-reader can contain thousands of e-books, limited only by its memory capacity. Depending on the device, an e-book may be readable in low light or even total darkness. Many e-readers have a built-in light source, can enlarge or change fonts, use text-to-speech software to read the text aloud for visually impaired, elderly or dyslexic people or just for convenience N Our number Printed books use three times more raw materials and 78 times more water to produce when compared to e-books.[157] While an e-reader costs more than most individual books, e-books may have a lower cost than paper books.[158] E-books may be printed for less than the price of traditional books using on-demand book printers.

Books that we can touch; books that we can smell; books that we can depend on. V Our value Value 1 Value 2
