An ebook, or electronic book, is a digital version of a book that can be read on electronic devices such as e-readers, tablets, smartphones, or computers. Unlike traditional books, ebooks do not require physical printing or binding, and they can be easily downloaded or transmitted over the internet.
Ebooks typically come in various file formats such as EPUB, MOBI, or AZW, which can be read on different devices and software applications. They may include text, images, and sometimes multimedia elements such as audio or video.
Ebooks offer several advantages over traditional books, such as portability, convenience, and the ability to carry and access multiple books on a single device. They also offer features such as adjustable font size, text search, and annotation, which can enhance the reading experience.
However, some readers still prefer the tactile experience of reading a physical book, and there are certain types of books, such as art books or coffee table books, that may not translate well into an ebook format.
