subject: The Novel Network Review [print this page] Recent research reported by Amazon has shown that eBook sales have outnumbered hardbooks, and there is no sign of this trend slowing down. Ebooks have many advantages over hardbooks, which has probably aided their sales growth recently.
With eBooks being cheaper than hardbooks you can afford more of them to read, plus you do not have to carry around heavy books which could weigh you down signifcantly. With the advances in technology and releases of e-readers such as iPads, iPhones, Kindles etc. you can read ebooks on the go, wherever and whenever you want!
Whether it be on the train or if you fancy a cheeky read on the beach, its really up to you. In my personal experience reading ebooks can be a great way to pass time and is actually better for your eyes as you have a constant light source and will never be straining your eyes to read in dim or dark light.
However, there is one problem..
Not all hardbooks have been converted to eBooks yet, so you may possibly have to wait to read your favourite book on an e-reader. Furthermore where do you get these eBooks? Well, you have a few options, you can buy from online stores such as Amazon, however their prices are quite high. You can buy direct from the author/publishers sites. However, there is a new option, using sites like The Novel Network to download eBooks. These sort of membership sites charge a one-time payment and offer unlimited downloads of ebooks, comics and newspapers. Although, they only offer them in the English language.
