We are used to reading books holding it in our hands. Books used to be printed on paper. A number of printed pages bound in a volume used to be called a book. E-book or electronic book is not the usual book we are talking about. It is a book not to be held in your hands. Any book that is electronically composed and that can be read on computer screen is called as e-book. An e-book can give us a lot more than a paper book. Remember, our small computer or laptop can hold thousands of books and create a digital library of available information in itself. We can mark our page with an electronic bookmark and jump straight to it when we open the book. Some e-books have built in dictionaries so we can click on a word and find out what it means. Non-fiction books may come with extensive collections of references and footnotes. Don’t think e-book just contains only text, it may contain audio, visuals, animations, graphics including all the advantages of a computer.
