Books have gone thru a rapid transition from placing a mail order using a catalogue, to ordering Online, to now having the book being an immediate download to your personal computer for reading on the screen or released out on your house printer. One of the hottest subjects in the library and book world today is ebooks. Hard cover books and the more recent ebooks both have a place in our lives.

An electronic book is the same as a hardcopy book, only you read it on your personal computer screen, or you can print it, and then just read it as ordinary hard copy. Our younger kids like to read inexpensive ebook stories on the computer screen. We prefer our reading on hard copy printouts. We make published copies of all our electronic books, and we keep all our ebooks on CD too.

Usually, an electronic book quickly downloads to your PC in the popular Adobe Transportable Document Format, or PDF. The Adobe Reader, if not already installed on your computer, is a free download.

Stephen King brought ebooks to the notice of the world by distributing his novel, Riding the Bullet, solely in ebook form. In the first 24 hours of availability, 400,000 copies were downloaded – more than any other book in any format! A fast scan of any of the e-Library sites will leave you in awe. From old classics like Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, to faves like Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, right up to the most recently written books, love, how-to, and scientific books. The list of classes will leave you breathless.

If your visual acuity is not what it used to be, here is an area where ebooks actually shine. You can swiftly change the type size, screen brightness, or ebooks can even be used with text-to-speech software.

Some other attractive features come to mind:

-You can buy an e-book without leaving home, from your PC.

– Instant download after buying, to read, save on your hard disk, or print.

– Text can be searched.

– Takes up little space.

– Lower cost.

– Doesn't wear over time.

The average reader might simply need to read books, and the Adobe format discussed above is kind of satisfactory for most readers employing a standard desktop or notebook PC. For the more advanced e-book reader, there is a profusion of ebook formats, some using dedicated handheld reading devices. Their features include, portability, replicating page turning, integrating multi media contents like video, audio, animation and images, and rather more. For some readers, the advancing reader technology is as exciting as the e-book’s contents.

If the PDF evolution has passed you by, now could be the time to catch up. There has never been a better time, with so many free and paid electronic books available from so many sources.
