What is an E-Book?The term "e-Book" stands for "Electronic
Book". It is exactly the same as a regular book, however e-Books can be read on your PC and are usually delivered via email therefore saving on any postage costs. E-Books usually come in two formats:
• .PDF - These can be opened in Adobe Acrobat reader
• .EXE - These can be opened on any Windows PC without the need for any additional software to be installed, they wont however run on MAC`s.

Advantages of E-BooksHere are some advantages of an e-Book:
• No shipping costs, delivered via email
• Print off as many copies as you like in your own
time
• A lot of e-Books come with resale rights so you
can sell them again numerous times over after
you have bought them!
• The price - You can find most e-Books floating
around eBay for as little as 99p!

• Information is available in e-Books that you
cant find in regular books
• They are searchable - With a print book, it can
be very frustrating to try to find something
you’re looking for. Even if the book has an
index, they might not have indexed this
particular thing, or they might have used a
different term. But with a PDF eBook, you can
quickly find any word or phrase anywhere in the
book.

• Convenient - Many times, you may just need
a page or two “on paper” from a book — for
example, a recipe from a cookbook, or a
procedure from a manual. With an eBook,
this is easy and convenient. And if you spill
chocolate syrup or raw eggs all over the
recipe, who cares? Just print it again! You
wouldn’t feel that way about spilling
chocolate syrup on a whole cookbook.

• Easy to find - Ever misplace a
book? Or spend hours looking
through all your shelves, and maybe
a few boxes as well? It's easy to
find an eBook on your computer —
and a lot harder to lose your
computer than a hard-copy book!

Disadvantages of E-Books
• Some people don`t like reading books on their
computer screen.
• If choosing to print an e-Book you may use a lot
of printer paper!
• So there you go, as you can see the advantages far
outweigh the disadvantages. Remember if you are
ever in any doubts about the quality of an e-Book
or the format check the sellers feedback or ask them
a question.

What is Book ?
• Books are a reliable source of information, mainly
because when all books, are first published, they would
have to be factual at that time, in this case fast fiction
books, so they are checked and analyzed thoroughly.
• A book is a collection of the knowledge, concepts, and
principles of a selected topic or course. It's usually written
by one or more teachers, college professors, or education
experts who are authorities in a specific field. Most
textbooks are accompanied by teacher guides, which
provide you with supplemental teaching materials, ideas,
and activities to use throughout the academic year.
