publication in digital form, consisting of
text, images, or both, readable on
computers or other electronic devices.”

Why E-books?
●

●

●

●

●

●

●

Paper books are bulky, heavy,
expensive, and not as ubiquitous as the Internet.
You can carry many more e-books when traveling.
You can search e-books for quotes, or analyze them
with software.
Free ebooks can be reproduced and shared at
negligable cost and effort, providing knowledge or
entertainment to potentially millions of people.
Eco-friendly – Save a Tree!
Democratic – free e-books are available to anyone with
Internet Access.
E-books can be more accessible via braile or text to
speech.
