Research:

What?
An electronic book is an electronic version of hard copy books, it can be downloaded or bought (legally)
over the internet. An ebook can be read on the computer, smartphones (proper app needed) and any other
device, that is able to verify the ebooks.
Who?
Anyone can use ebook, recently many libraries have been installing ebooks.
Where?
The ebooks havent been used universally, but many countries like Australia have been adapting the
ebook.
Cost?
It costs a lot for a ebook reader. "There have been protests on Amazon due to the cost of the ebook
reader."
Advantages
There are over 2 million free books available since August 2009.
Now ebooks are available on mobiles or any other devices that support the format or the file.
Comparing the space a book takes, an e-reader can take up to thousands of book and still have enough
space to take more ebooks but its limited by its capacity.
Ebook websites are able to translate the ebooks into many different languages while a books need to be
translated, then published which would take more than a year or so.
Depending on the device, the ebook can be read in low light or total darkness, but books need proper

lighting.
The size of the text on the ebook can be changed to a reader's preference.
E-books have the capability to use the Text-to-speech software, where the reader can listen to the text
instead of reading it (Depending on the device, if available)
E-books are cheaper than ordinary paper book.
Ebook can be purchased, downloaded or bought in one place, but to borrow a book it takes a while to
get/find the library then borrow or buy it.
Production of an ebook does not need ink, paper etc.
Disadvantages
The longivity of a ebook.
Not all books are formed into an ebook.
You need a suitable device to load your ebook on.
Because of some formatting it might not usable on some devices.
Issues- social and ethical
Illegal downloading
If ebook is damaged, stolen it might have to be repurchased again.
 The notions of privacy, private writing, solitude, and personal reading are changing.
What is the technology? (Explain)
This technology is a book in a digital form that is readable on digital devices that is able to support
e-reading format. These ebooks can also be born digital instead of being transferred to digital devices.
eBook allows the reader to be able to get most of book of their preference instantly instead of driving,
walking or find the nearest library. But to be abe to read ebooks, you need to have a digital device (that
supports the format) and/or an ereader.
How does it work?
Basically all that needs to be done to get ebooks are to find a suitable site which is authorized and
copyright protected.
These sites are both authorized and copyright protected:
Project Gutenberg
Amazon
eBooks.com
Penguin
Basically, all eBooks work the same. You go to an Internet-based bookseller, order a book,
download it into your "reader" whatever it might be, and enjoy reading.
How is it/will it affect our Personal Lives?
eBooks provide an alternate reading choice for lovers of technology. eBooks offers a new
dimension to the written word, allowing books to be distributed so much more easily. eBooks
are ordered online and delivered electronically to your computer. You save money with no
shipping and the lowest prices. Instead of spending most of your time searching for libraries and
getting a library card, the easiest way is to search online for a book and download it and voila there is
your book soft copy.
How is it/will it affect our School/Learning?
In years to come, a child will have just one e-reader to carry to school where all the text books they need
are stored within that one unit. No more backpacks to be hoisted/luged around, or to be left anywhere or
even lost somewhere between school and home. Instead of having a huge Biology book to lug around,
eBook would be able to carry your 300 pages book weightlessly. It can also be heard instead of reading
by own self.




                                                                                         page 2 / 5

How is it/will it affect our Work Lives?
It would be much easier to carry any sort of books around, just with on device that contains every book
you need. Just need to find the book and start flipping the pages. Also instead of buying it and then
paying extra for the shipping, its just so much easier when you can just buy it online and no extra charges.
As well as audio, you can hear it too.

Pecha Kucha- eBook




The eBook Presentation

What?


In this investigation project included us to do a pecha kucha, which is where we only have


pictures in our powerpoint presentation and with that we had to speak for 20 seconds about that


and each of us had to speak 120 seconds in total. This was something new we did in CT class.


The people that contributed to this assignment were: Sophia, Bong Hee, Jaffer and Jacky.


So What?


This is actually an effective way of presenting because then not only we have words but we also


have effective pictures which help out the audience. Also it may interest the audience because


then they wouldn't have to sleep with their eyes open during the presentation. :D


Now What?


Maybe next time when we have to do a presentation I could just do that, which would get me

                                   extra effort points, as well as it would be more fun for the teacher and students since it would be


                                   in a story format.
