In the recent years, there has been a great change in the technological trends and most of them are appreciating as they have made things easier for the individuals. Same is the case with the introduction of eBooks. Gone are the days when people used to carry heavy paper-backed books with them. Today, most of the youngsters prefer reading eBooks online. Though the charm and grace of traditional books cannot be overlooked or competed, the main difficulty with them was their heavy nature. Most of you might be aware of the eBooks. These are the books which are made available to the readers in digital form. The readers can read them online or can download them to their computer system using eBook readers. Some of the most commonly used eReaders include the Kindle and The Nook.
The trends have changed in the recent years and it is due to the several advantages which are offered by eBooks in comparison to traditional books. Most of the individuals today prefer going for eBooks due to following reasons.
Increasing Trend Of Reading eBooks Online
The first and most common reason is that eBooks offer higher portability. As they are available in digital form, the students can access them easily on their mobile phones, laptops, tablets and other devices. Thus, they are not required to carry the heavy books with them when moving around.
The cost of books is another reason for switching towards eBooks. The cost of traditional books is increasing day by day and most of the books required for higher education have huge prices. The same book might cost you $10 while its eBook version might be available at just $5. So, most of the individuals prefer to get the required books at half prices by going online rather than spending huge amounts.
Another advantage of switching from traditional books to eBooks is their space saving nature. eBooks are present in digital form and hence they do not occupy space. They just occupy some space of your hard disk or memory of eBook readers. Also there is no issue of the availability of the books which is most commonly seen for the traditional books which are in great demand. You can get any of the eBook readers available in the market and download a soft copy of your desired book.
The best thing about eBooks is that they are available at a mouse click at affordable prices. All you need to do is to go online and search for the book you are looking for. This not only saves time but also the resources that might be spent in getting the book. It can be purchased online from the comfort of your home in a hassle-free manner.
In addition to the readable eBooks, you can also find their audio versions which make gaining knowledge more interesting. eBooks have now occupied an important position in the lives of the individuals as they are easy to handle and can be achieved easily.
The introduction of new technology has always enhanced the comfort level of the individuals. The introduction of eBooks has reduced the burden of the students and has provided them an opportunity to fulfill their dreams in a comfortable manner and at cheaper prices.
Though I am myself an eBook author, I enjoy reading the REAL books over eBooks- any day. They just dont have the same charm as the paper books. :(
Everything now is indeed going digital. The traditional ways of doing things are greatly becoming extinct now!
Sure they do not have same feel, but the trend is on the increase.

with the advent of the diverse smart devices and a greater access to the internet, it was sure to be the case.
There is a greater availability of more and more online books and the applications within the smartphone only increase the popularity.
