Description:

"E-books provide for a reader many new attractive features compared to old-style printed books. E-books can be read on laptop or portable e-book reader, and therefore they are totally portable and accessible at anywhere in anytime.


Based on personal preferences, a reader can adjust the layout, fonts and size, use highly developed search functions or play music and videos. The main goal of the future e-books is to offer to a reader “better than paper” experiences.


Future E-books have following characteristics:

• Flexibility and accessibility. • Layout, interface and size can be adjusted (font size and type can be changed, zooming in and out the document etc.) • Highly developed search functions • The book can be read in low lighting with a back-lit device • Large storage capacities. Thousands of books can be saved and carried on one device and approximately 500 average e-books can be stored on one CD (compare how much shelve space they would need). • A book can be copied and back ups can be easily taken. No risk on damage on the pages. • Errors on the text can be easily corrected by downloading update files "
