Advantages Of E-Books

• Text can be searched automatically and cross-referenced using hyperlinks, making the e-book format ideal for works that benefit from such functions.
• E-books can allow non-permanent highlighting of books.
  
• Less physical space is required to store e-books, and hundreds or thousands of books may be stored on the same device.
• A single e-book reader containing several books is easier to carry around than several print books.
  
• Because they require little space, e-books can be offered indefinitely, with no going out of print date, allowing authors to continue to earn royalties indefinitely.
  
• Readers who have difficulty reading printed books can benefit from the adjustment of text size and font face.
  
• Text-to-speech software can be used to convert e-books to audio books automatically.
  
• E-book devices allow reading in low light or even total darkness by means of a back light.
  
• An e-book may be more comfortable for some to hold because it need not be held open like a physical book and can also be set down and read without needing to be held open.
  
• An e-book can automatically open at the last read page.
  
• It costs little to reproduce or copy an e-book, which makes it ideal for archival and backup purposes.
  
• While an e-book reader costs more than one book, the electronic texts are generally cheaper.
  
• It is easier for authors to self-publish e-books.
  
• Ease of distributing e-texts means that they can be used to stimulate higher sales of printed copies of books.
  
• Although they require electricity to be read, the production of e-books does not consume the paper, ink, and other resources that are used to produce print books.
