Modern Day Literature
Literature is literally translated as being the written word which for us means books. Fiction and non fiction books, poetry, drama, factual, legal, prose and other types of literature books are available to you in a variety of places. Libraries where you can borrow them, stores where you can buy them and the internet where you can buy them but you can also read them online, this type of book is called an EBook.
EBooks are the latest craze to hit the internet and many of us through reading EBooks are learning to read again and be reminded how much we enjoy it! EBook is the short name for an Electronic Book which is the computer equivalent of a hard back or paperback book. You don’t have to read EBooks now on just your home computer many mobile phones now have the facilities for you to be able to download the EBooks and read them. Also other devices that are handheld are now on the market. EBooks in general are cheaper than buying a hardback or paperback book. The origins of EBooks can be found in the hardware and technical manuals that were created for specialty areas for a small audience. Most EBooks are supported by PDF and are only able to be read this way until 2008 when more programs were invented. Until 2008 EBooks were very much an underground market that was highly fractured into several types. EBooks are often written by novelists who cannot get accepted via the normal publishing routes. By publishing them themselves they are able to get their books viewed by millions of people all over the world. Internet sites all over the web have now sprung up with full catalogues of EBooks for every taste and within 2008 to 2009 big publishers themselves are now producing their books as EBooks as well. The market for EBooks has exploded and they are now the most read types of books in the world. The EBook market is currently worth over $11 Billion a year.
Some of the benefits of EBooks compared to the traditional print book are that they are able to be searched automatically via the program for certain words through hyperlinks, they also allow highlighting of certain sentences or paragraphs when studying enabling the student to highlight what they need without ruining the book. Each individual EBook reader hand held device can hold a multitude of EBooks which makes the carrying of them much, much lighter than carrying around say 10 or 15 paper printed books. People than have problems with reading can alter the size of the print and the font so that they can read the book easier than a traditional paper printed book. The last page that was read by the reader is automatically given when the reader re-opens the EBook saving time. Some EBook reader hand held devices have an audio program which reads out the text out loud so that those who are hard of sight can still enjoy their favorite stories.
