Che cos'è un Ebook?

Un Ebook è un normale libro in forma digitale, composto da testo, immagini o entrambi. Gli ebook sono creati per essere letti su un dispositivo digitale come un telefono cellulare, un tablet, un Kindle (un dispositivo progettato solo per la lettura di libri) o un personal computer, di solito tramite un'applicazione come Kindle o Tolino. 

Ora, forse sei un po' più old school e preferisci leggere i libri alla vecchia maniera, il che è perfettamente comprensibile. Ma ci sono alcuni vantaggi che rendono gli Ebook degni di essere provati.

Per molte persone, passare alla lettura digitale potrebbe significare un cambiamento di stile di vita. Ma se i libri diventano più puliti, portatili, piccoli e facilmente accessibili, perché non provarli?

Advantages of Ebooks for Users

1. Portability 

Ebooks are very portable, you can store them on a digital device and take them anywhere you want, giving you easier and faster access to your books. Moreover, storage is typically not an issue either because ebooks don’t take up a lot of space.

2. Ability to Change Font Sizes

If you’re an avid book reader, you know how frustrating it can be when the font size is too small (or too big) for your comfort. Besides, if you wear glasses, then it can be even more of a nuisance.

But with Ebooks, that problem goes away! You can easily change the settings of your book’s font size and style on many Ebook platforms, enabling you to tweak things according to your preferences.

Advantages of Ebooks for Creators

That aside, Ebooks also offer a massive advantage to those who create, write, or publish them. Here’s how:

1. Mass Distribution 

Having a book in its digital form means that it can be made available to anyone anywhere in the whole world! You can create ways to access it on various platforms and websites and target people from different parts of the globe. 

All it takes is sending people a link, or clicking a button (to purchase or download it), which means you can distribute it a lot more efficiently than physical books.

2. Quick Access

Unlike long-form print media, Ebooks can be made immediately accessible - to readers, editors, publishers, etc. In turn, this will make your life much easier for writers and marketers.
