It has been a few years now since e-book readers have been on the market in some reasonable capacity and even the team here at Be Your Own IT is happy to finally of made the switch. Under all the team members Christmas trees here were shiny new Amazon Kindles and the positive reviews are rolling in. Gone are the days of having to wait for the book store to open, gone are the days of disappointing empty handed trips home. From here on out it is all about instant gratification from the world’s biggest bookstore the internet.

What Is An Ebook?

E book is just short for electronic book, it is just a digital copy of a full book. Most people read them right on their computers but now with portable e-book readers you can take your book anywhere you want to go. It isn’t any different content or any less of a value, it is just instantly available online and totally portable. If it seems like we are being overly positive maybe we are but we just want you to know they are not any different. There isn’t the same good feeling/new book smell that you get from purchasing a new book but everything else is the same.

Below are three reasons you need to convert over to E-Books:

Cost-The price of the actual books is very affordable. Most books that are nearly thirty dollars are under ten dollars as an ebook. If you are someone who reads just 1 book a month you can save over $300 a year.

Efficiency- After being able to download any book you want in just thirty seconds you’ll loathe the idea of getting in your car and driving to the bookstore anymore. You can grab new books from almost anywhere that has internet and do it 24 hours a day, you can even get books at 4am!

Portability-. You can also carry around hundreds even thousands of books with you everywhere you go. Converting to E-books lets you carry all the books you want to and be able to take them with you everywhere you go.

Well without going into great detail you can see there are a lot of reasons why to start reading e-books instead of traditional books but there is one thing that really helps make the decision easy for you, read a few. Before you run out and buy an ebook reader see if you like reading books on your computer. Most people find it a little weird at first, being used to regular books and some people just prefer good old printed paper to digital copy and that is just fine too. Its best to just find out yourself but remember to be open to new things, you never know when you’ll find something you really love.
