Benefits to Purchasing eBooks Over Paperback or Hardbacks


One of the major questions asked about the latest eBook readers, what with their long-line of impressive features, is whether or not they are worth buying over the physical paper or hardbacks. Electronic book readers are simple to use and operate and are becoming more and more common place as the technology advances. Here are some of the main advantages of purchasing eBooks -

Instantaneous - an eBook is delivered almost instantaneously to your e-reader, laptop, tablet or similar device. It is quite possible to go through the entire process of purchasing and downloading an eBook within a matter of minutes, which eliminates a need to shop in store or wait days for delivery if purchasing a physical book.

Save Money - although there is the initial cost of purchasing the eReader, most of the eBooks available are priced very competitively, and often lower than their physical counterpart. Also, it is quite easy to pick up a nice collection of free eBooks, with a lot of the classics available to download free of charge. Published and indie authors also offer their eBooks as specials or daily deals to help with promoting their work. An avid reader is soon able to fill their eReader with a varied and impressive selection of books at free to minimal cost.

Less Clutter - a typical eReader has the memory to potentially hold 3000+ books in a very compact device, which means you no longer have to be concerned with sizable bookshelves or having space to hold countless physical books. A passionate reader might well create a massive stockpile of books, which is easily eliminated with the latest high-capacity eReaders.

Environment-Friendly - although it might be true that the eBook devices themselves will contribute a small amount to your carbon footprint, it is believed that the long-term use and take-up of these electronic readers will ultimately assist the environment as a lot less paper-based books will be manufactured.

Self Publishing - it is significantly easier for the amateur or part-timer to get published using the e-reader format than going to the expense of publishing in paper format. Due to this, the users of the eReader have a far wider choice of authors and books to read. Also, another great positive to the self-published author is that they often price their books at a low-rate when first starting out.

As you can see, there is a wide-range of great positives to come from purchasing an eBook reader over the more traditional and bulky paper and hardback books available on the market.
