Some Benefits of E-Books
A book isn’t paper and binding. It is the words and ideas contained between the covers.
An e-book is more portable than a print book.
You can store an entire library of e-books on your phone or tablet and not take up an inch of physical shelf space. E-books take up very little data. Even if your data is limited, a dozen full-length editions will occupy no more than a megabyte of disk space.
