E-Books, what's that?

E-Books  is an acronym for Electronic Books, go here for the most recent selection of pertinent eBooks  and  audio recordings  available in Australia.  E-books are just like a normal books,  but available in an electronic format  that you can  download and save to your  PC (personal desktop computer) or a laptop ( slightly smaller and portable which you can operate on your lap), as the name implies (just watch the heat, don’t  block  the ventilation ducts, as the laptop will overheat) best to keep it on a breakfast tray or similar allowing  for the airflow to  circulate in and around the laptop.

This link gives you a “geeks” overview about E-books on the I-phone

The notebook computer is again smaller and about the size of two normal books hinged together in one side and now the “I-Pad” , a small flat screen, the size of a normal book with images, internet, music steam and lots of “aps” (applications )  able to be viewed at a touch of a finger.
These are some of the ways an E-book can be read, however the  E-Book Reader  is soon to appear in peoples arsenal of electronic  gadgets.  With a holding capacity of a thousand books in one little book format  with a screen, reading a book from a huge library of books while sitting in the train or on the bus is a very exciting option to many avid readers.  That may sound a bit everyday, but look at the implications of this. Students never again need to carry huge backpack of book, reference books for the professionals will be but a touch away, just to name a few.
 Very exciting stuff.  But, Why not just take your laptop?  Because the weight factor is important even within this already vey light product, if you are travelling you will soon realise, if you have not had this experience already that with any decent size laptop is still cumbersome. The makers of the  I-pad  have offcourse address this already by combining an electronic book reader with a Mobile telephone and a laptop all in one unit.
The only thing that prevent everyone from having an E-book Reader  is the price, but with new “apps” available to compare prices from a variety of online and offline (regular shopping) outlets  it will soon be affordable for most people, including both primary,  secondary students as well as University, Apprentices and Mature Adult studying a variety of courses. Remember to always compare several prices before purchasing anything, now with the strong Australian currency many bargains are available from overseas as well as within Australia.
