subject: Why Are Online Books So Popular? [print this page] Books are indeed a mans best friend. However, we are so taken up by the drudgery of our daily routine that we hardly get the time to visit a library or enjoy the leisurely hours at the book store. However, with online books, you can still go back to your good old habit of reading. Even while on the move, you can catch up with your favorite titles and authors.
Online books come in many formats and can be read by anyone who has a computer, laptop or an e-book reader. The first e-books dealt on technical and scholarly topics and were limited to a selected audience. But with the terrific popularity and use of internet in our everyday lives, e-books have become popular and are extensively read.
Online books or E-books are in some ways even better than real books. To start with, you do not have to go through a library catalogue to get your book, nor you have to travel through miles of aisles in a book store to locate it. You just need to type the name of the book title and the author in a search engine and the book is there! Books are usually available in PDF format and software like Adobe Reader only facilitates the process. Most of the gadgets today support them. You can download it to your computer if you want or you can read it online. Tablets and notebooks are always a regular accompaniment these days, so as you are skipping from one meeting to another, you can quickly finish a few pages and relax yourself.
Some books are absolutely free to download while for others, you need to pay a small subscription. In other words, it is way cheaper than buying new books. Moreover, we often do not wish to go back to a book after finishing it once, so some people consider the money wasted. With online books one can easily highlight the notes and one can even bookmark the page and return to it anytime later. On the other hand, if books are regularly published online, it would save a tremendous amount of paper, which in turn would mean less deforestation and a greener world for us. Online books are a green way of reading books!
