Discover Why Students Prefer EBooks Over Printed Ones
Regardless, of retaliation faced by traditional books lovers, this ebook trend is going relentlessly among readers

Humans from archaic times use to gather information and store them in books. From philosophy to daily usage skills, books can be of different types. Intellects from almost every decade and century comprehended and praised the significance of books. Also, they wrote their own and left them for posterity.

As technology and innovation evolved, people wanted good substitutes for books to gather and organize information. The concept of eBooks is a good answer for those substitute seekers. Regardless, of retaliation faced by traditional books lovers, this ebook trend is going relentlessly among today’s children. The question now comes is why people are mad about these ebooks and what makes them different and more useful than normal printed books.

On-the-go learning

Carrying an eBook-compatible mobile device is reasonably more convenient than a bag full of books. We no longer need to lug around large volumes of printed material. Also, books can be accessed virtually on any Internet-connected device.  An Ebook can be accessed through smartphones, tablets, e-readers, as well as laptops and desktops. Since eBooks are portable, students can access their notes and course materials at any time. Rather than carrying multiple books, students can now have everything in one place.

Offline Access

More than half the world's population has access to the Internet. However, we all occasionally experience difficulties with connectivity. To ensure that mobile devices do not hinder the learning process, they offer offline services these days. Course-related Ebooks can now be downloaded by students and stored on their devices so that they can access them later at any time.

Students can download ebooks right when needed. The lack of a textbook or its delay doesn't mean you'll fall behind. Moreover, they can be stored on the computer in a convenient location, which will make losing or forgetting them less likely.

Interactive Features

With eBooks, students can not only read but also take notes and highlight content. Annotations, pen tools, page zoom, search option, read aloud, and other features make eBook reading a lot more interactive. Using the search tool, readers can instantly locate words and topics. Interactive - if an Ebook is online, readers can provide their comments and feedback with much more ease. 

Students can include links to YouTube videos, presentations, and other online resources as part of an Ebook.  Additionally, searching for a particular topic or phrase does not require turning page after page. Users can bookmark pages and chapters. Online dictionaries let them quickly look up words. Furthermore, the device's font size, style, and brightness can be adjusted in accordance with the eye's comfort. EBooks provide students with a wholesome learning experience.

Saves Nature

A digital book does not require paper. A PDF format can be used to submit books, which can later be converted into electronic books. Thus, it saves all printing costs, including purchasing printing paper, designing the layout, and creating hardcovers. Additionally, it saves the environment by eliminating the need to print.

Paper is produced by cutting down millions of trees each year. Then there are the transportation costs, the cost of producing paper, and the entire carbon footprint it leaves behind. By switching to eBooks, all these can be avoided. Moreover, this is one of the reasons why eBooks are a great alternative to printed books in education.

Ebooks are affordable

As reported by NBC, the average student spends $1200 on books each year. Fortunately, ebooks are much more affordable than traditional textbooks. Although you may only have access to some ebooks for a limited time, digital textbooks still offer substantial savings. When compared to other reading materials, Ebooks are relatively inexpensive to produce. It is even possible for some classes to use electronically posted books that are free to download.
