Reading online books has several advantages over perusing their traditional, printed counterparts. Gaining access to the former is convenient, and you can read them on any good eBook reader device. Over here, we will be deliberating on ten important benefits of online reading. Electronic copies of books (eBooks) are fast gaining in popularity among readers worldwide. You can jot down a list of the popular reading websites, and check out their stocks – all from the comforts of your home. While buying bestselling books in their physical formats is hardly a challenging task, maintaining the texts over a period of time can prove to be rather tricky. This is precisely where eBooks come to your aid. In what follows, we will be listing out 10 major advantages of buying/downloading books from online book stores: • Round the clock availability – The online book stores can be accessed at any time, unlike the traditional exclusive book stores. Simply become a member of a good reading website, and don’t let time become an impeding factor in your wish to buy a book at a late hour! • Easy portability – Often, you might need to carry a book from one place to another. Which one would be easier to tag along with you – a bulky printed book, or its electronic version (stored in a disc or a flash drive)? The answer is pretty evident! • Maintenance of books – No matter how well you care for physical books, they will get worn out over time. There are, however, no such risks with eBooks. A book can be as old as time itself – but if an electronic copy is available, you will never have to worry about its maintenance. Make sure that the computer/laptop you are storing eBooks on is virus-free though! • More easily scannable – Have you ever tried to find out a particular piece of information from a large, printed book? If yes, you would probably appreciate the sheer difficulty and time-consuming nature of the task. On the other hand, finding specific information from eBooks is way easier. For example, if you wish to find out about any camera model from electronic digital photography books, simply type in the model name in the search box – and find out the details you are looking for! • Greater eco-friendliness – At the physical book stores, you will find traditional books that are made of paper. Switching over to their online versions can go a long way in preserving trees and keeping the natural resources of the world in balance. What’s more – there is no question of having to ‘dispose off’ old online books. • Advantages of audio books and video content – The eBooks available at the leading online book shops often come with audio/video files. Exclusive audiobooks are also available – which can lend a more interactive feel to your reading endeavors. • Possibility of finding rare, ‘out-of-print’ books – Looking for an old book that has long gone out of print? Chances are high that you will never manage to find a physical copy (at least, in a readable condition!). However, most good reading websites have e-copies of such rare texts, which you can peruse at your convenience. • Text size and color adjustability – Having to squint in order to decipher the small-sized fonts in a printed text can be an irritating task. Online books, on the other hand, offer you the option to adjust the size and color of the text fonts, so that you can read on without having to strain your eyes. • Easier to print – Printing a copy of an eBook is, of course, much easier and cost-saving, than taking a photocopy of an entire printed material. Once you print an electronic book, you automatically get a physical copy of the material you want to read! • In keeping with the increasing computer usage – The volume of internet users all round the world is increasing by the day. In such a scenario, it is only natural that more and more people would wish to peruse eBooks, than their traditional counterparts. Hence, it makes complete sense to register at a good online reading website – where you will be able to access all types of books, right from advanced texts on physics, to simple, engaging children’s books. Online book stores have also brought the global reading community a lot closer. No longer do you have to remain satisfied with reading books penned by authors of your nationality. To cite an instance, if you live in South Africa, you can scour the online bookshops in South Africa, and find bestselling titles, by renowned international authors.
