The trend of reading e-books is increasing nowadays and the reasons for its popularity are many. The first is the time limitation. Students prefer the use of the Internet more than reading books to increase their knowledge. Although the trend of normal books is eternal, but the course material in each book is limited, moreover, it is impossible for each student to buy more and more books for that extra course material. Going to library and publishing books is also very tedious job for students and this is the main reason why students prefer to use internet to search for course material and study. It is also good for the students as they become internet and computer savvy through more and more use of the computer and this helps them in the future.
Another benefit of using an eBook is the cost factor. The cost of a normal book required for higher studies is at least $10 starting, while the cost of an eBook starts from $5 and always costs less than a normal book. Sometime it may also happen that you download an e-book without paying a penny, so e-books are always profitable.
Another very important factor why students are switching from regular eBooks to eBooks is that they save space. They take up no space, just your system memory or the memory of your eBook readers. There are numerous e-book readers available in the market that take up only a quarter of the space of a normal book and there are also numerous downloadable e-books available online. it will be limited if a student has switched to eBooks. There will also be no kind of stress in disposing of them as online eBooks are just an electronic copy and can be stored on any disk or drive or simply deleted.
In a survey conducted by the US council, it was found that those students who did not complete their university studies at the appropriate age are now willing to complete their studies and earn their degrees. For such students, it is very difficult to buy their course material like an ordinary book, they also have no time to go and buy it as they want everything with one click. This is the reason why they prefer eBook downloads more because buying them is more convenient and hassle free as compared to regular books.
Downloadable eBooks are not just meant for the eyes but are available in various forms such as audio eBooks. If you feel that listening is more comfortable than reading, then you could easily buy audio books. E-books are always better as they require little manipulation and are easy to get.
