All the info you need on eBooks
by Groshan Fabiola I try to cover as many topics as I canAn eBook can be defined as a type of book that is made available in digital format and as a general rule it represents the electronic version of a printed book. However, with the emergence of the new market dedicated to the distribution of electronic books, authors have come to realize that publishing eBooks is much more profitable for them owing to the fact that they become more credible in the eye of the reader. In second place, online self-publishing platforms such as Amazon enjoy great traffic and consequently the author is capable of increasing his visibility and making a name for himself in the business. On the basis of these things it is perfectly clear why many books appear solely in digital format and why the traditional paper printing is at danger of disappearing altogether.
In recent years the popularity of eBooks has certainly overshadowed
traditional books. One of the many reasons for which digital books
transformed from a niche market into the number one choice of readers
all around the world is the fact that they allow the presence of colored
text and even video and can be read either on the computer or one the
phone and tablet. In addition to this, the main difference is
represented by the fact that traditional books may turn out to be
expensive to purchase, while with electronic books the reader has the
possibility of downloading some material free of charge from the web, as
long as the books selected fall into the category of classic works of
literature.
In the beginning, the virtual libraries consisted only of works with a
scholarly or technical nature, while in present times anyone who surfs
the web is able to find anything from romance to fiction. In order to
gain popularity with the public, many such online libraries began to
offer visitors the possibility of downloading free digital books and
this ultimately resulted in the constant demand for new titles and the
development of large-scale printing. EBooks have represented an
innovation in the sense that the notion of page is discarded altogether
and the electronic format allows the reader to zoom in the page.
Electronic books are available in popular format such as PDF and
EPUB, which in turn has led to the development of established software
companies like Adobe. The truth is that while PDF has become the classic
format of digital books, the market was divided between many more
formats due to the fact that each e-reader sticks to one format. At
present the situation has changed and the majority has consented to the
implementation of the Open eBook format. It was not until the year of
2010 that the digital book began to be distributed worldwide and eBook
stores online began to develop. However, the market is still being
dominated by names such as Hachette, Macmillan and Penguin Random House.
To conclude, in order to be able to transport your favorite titles
everywhere with you and indulge in the pleasure of reading, it is
necessary to purchase a trusted e-reader such as that manufactured by
Kindle or Sony. Besides being able to store up to hundreds of books in
the memory of the reader, the consumer has the possibility of connecting
to virtual libraries and downloading any title that he desires. The
only thing that you cannot do with it is to lend it to a friend.
