An E Book, or electronic book, has been slowly gaining popularity across the board as more people start to appreciate its unique qualities. Starting out as an informational tool for subjects that needed to be stored, works of both fiction and non fiction, including complete novels, are now available for all to read and enjoy.
If you are thinking about purchasing an e book for someone as a Christmas gift, make sure that they have a reader or you will need to purchase one of these, as well. Amazon offers the most popular models of readers called Kindle while Barnes & Noble has come out with another model known as Nook. Adjustable text size makes reading more pleasant and easier to read when you are in control of your font size. You can also make the print lighter or darker for clarity.
Many e book best sellers can be found for around £5 compared to soft or hardcover book that can run anywhere from £10 £20. Storage is a plus when you have a reader for your e book because you can store multiple books on one reader as opposed to carrying around a bundle of books. Bookmarks are also no longer needed as your reader will open to the exact page where you left off.
Of course you can still use your traditional computer or laptop to read an e book and many do. Downloading an e book is inexpensive and storable for later use. Because there is little cost involved in producing an e book (no paper, binding, printing costs), e books are becoming very useful in forming your own personal library on subjects of your choice. Whether studying at college, entering a new job vocation or collecting everything that you can find on a hobby, an e book can be very helpful. Textbooks no longer have to line your walls and information is much easier to locate.
As with anything new, e books are the very latest trend in reading and storing material as opposed to books that have been around for centuries and many people have not had the opportunity to experience the craze that some swear by. Christmas is a great way to introduce that special someone to the world of e books by giving the gift of an e book and reader.
Perhaps you are looking for a gift that can help someone with learning the basics in green energy or a DIYer who is forever searching the Internet for information on how to articles. Finding e book publications on any particular subject can be a great way to start them out in the world of e books. When they get in the middle of a project, there will be no need to keep running to the computer to look up instructions or printing off multiple sheets of paper.
A favorite author can now have his or her own place on a reader or computer or a library of irreplaceable knowledge to refer to time and time again. Introduce someone you care about to the world of e books this Christmas and it won t take long for them to get hooked.
