Benefits of e-books in digital era.

In the present day, books are widely read across the world. They are a form of entertainment and a great way to pass the time. However, many times we must have seen people reading books online or on kindle. Many people prefer reading books online rather than in physical form. Online book libraries reduce the need to buy and carry physical books. A monthly subscription has to be paid to access the e-libraries but it is more cost effective than buying hundreds of books every year. Moreover, e-books reduce carbon footprint, as printing physical books negatively impacts the environment. Deforestation is amongst the major problems. In addition to this, digital readings offer greater accessibility and ease, the meaning of a word can be searched instantly with one click, and it can also keep a track of the page you read last. Therefore, while traditional books still hold cultural value, the shift toward digital reading is both practical and environmentally sustainable.
