What is an e-book?
Everyone is talking about e-books at the moment.
But what
exactly are they?
Basically, whatever you read on a screen instead of on paper
is called an e-book.
And of course, an e-book can be more than just text. It can also include
photos, graphics and videos.
You can download e-books onto a laptop or a
personal digital
assistant so you can read them while
travel / travelling.
There are also portable e-book readers which are very
useful.
These e-book readers are about the same size
as a book.
But you can store lots of books on them - and whatever you write can
be transferred to a PC.
Reading on a screen all the time might get hard on the eyes, but
screens are getting
better.

than a
