The ebook is the digitized version of a book that will be published precisely on the world wide web or in any other type of electronic format. It is worth mentioning that it can also be referred to as lDigital book, cyber book, e-book, ecolibro and also the device used to read this type of book is called an electronic book, although it can also appear as e-reader or e-book reader.
Now, it is important to distinguish that the electronic book is a machine, a device that allows to store the electronic book, or a fabulous number of them, while the electronic book is the file that is in a certain format, be it PDF , EPUB, or MOBI, to name just a few of them.
Having made the indicated distinction, we will mention the advantages, which are many, that are attributed to the book and the electronic reader: the possibility of reading any type of document in the place where the person is; it does not tire the reader's eyes since electronic ink does not have backlighting as it does with computers, cell phones and tablets; Internet access, since a good part of the readers available in the market have an Internet connection, a fact that will make it possible to connect with those Internet sites that sell precisely these electronic books and also facilitate the downloading of electronic newspapers and magazines; the battery of the reader is really long, since the electronic ink does not demand much power consumption, so it lasts very long. Just turning the pages consumes battery.
Meanwhile, if we have to find points against it, the one that stands out the most is its high cost, although, in recent times, some companies such as Amazon.com offer e-book readers at prices that are more accessible to the general public.
Obviously, the electronic book has raised voices for and against and it is difficult to favor one or the other position definitively since both have a certain reason at a certain point.
In any case, what is worth noting is that today, the electronic book is presented as a comfortable alternative to carry and move, which does not intend to supplant the traditional paper book, but for those cases of people who like to read a lot at all times and in all places, it is really comfortable.
