The Benefits Of Online Reading And E-books

When surfing on the net, I came across an article about online education and e-books

. The article portrayed positive and negative sides of internet reading and repression of linear thinking. Though many points in the article are agreeable I would like to expand my thoughts on the benefit part that weighs more than the losses. As there is advancement in technology, we are coming out of the conventional methods of spending time in a study room, turning over the pages and reading a book. Now at one-click stop, no matter wherever you are, if you have a computer connected online, you can start reading. You can choose from different genres like comics, fiction, non-fiction, tragedy or anything that you wish to read at that point. With the portability of e-book, you can have your own library of books organized on a CD or laptop.

A few days back when I was travelling and had a lot of spare time, suddenly I had an urge to read my favorite book, Pride and Prejudice. All I had to do was, get connected to my laptop powered by ATT Uverse Internet and log on to Project Gutenberg, search my book and start reading. Very Simple! Pride and Prejudice, a non-fiction work by Jane Austen, is a story that centers on the main character, Elizabeth Bennet as she deals with complications of manners, moral conflicts, economic status and marriage in the society set in the backdrop of 19th-century England. I have a great deal of admiration to this book. It is one of the most popular novels in English literature and it has received critical reviews and appreciation from literary scholars. There are several dramatic adaptations and imitations of the book in movies of different cultures. This is one great advantage of online reading that takes away your worries of killing time.

Talking about the benefits, e-books are delivered almost in no time, provided you have a good internet speed. You can purchase or download an e-book 24 hours a day and start reading online within minutes, without leaving your chair. You don't have to go to a bookstore to buy them or wait for an edition to be printed for days, weeks and sometimes to arrive by mail. You also get a sense of saving the environment; otherwise many trees are cut to manufacture paper.

Advantages of electronic book even lies in specialized features that is prominent in all electronic documents. Usually, the options like search and modify, is of great use in an electronic book or a document. Search option helps you to quickly locate key words or phrases simply by entering the word or into the e-book's "find" or "search" function. This will help you to locate a particular paragraph or a phrase or a chapter you stopped reading and continue with the next. You can also change the font or font size you are accustomed to with the use of modify option. You can annotate the text with personal observations in the form of notes.

There is tremendous upside to online reading, especially within the context of e-books and several companies are in a race to produce lightweight, battery operated "e-books".
