An\r\ne-reader is a device that allows you to read e-books. An e-book is a\r\nbook-length publication in digital form, consisting of text, images, or both,\r\nand produced on, published through, and readable on computers or other\r\nelectronic devices. Sometimes the equivalent of a conventional printed book,\r\ne-books can also be born digital.

The average e-reader can store thousands of\r\ndigital book, providing a veritable library at your fingertips. What is more,\r\nbeing the size and weight of a thin hardback, the e-reader itself is relatively\r\npetite. It is easy to hold and can fit in a pocketbook or briefcase easily. This\r\nmakes handling ponderous behemoths such as War and Peace, Anna Karenina, and\r\nLes Miserables a breeze. Perhaps the only drawback to the space-saving aspect\r\nof an e-reader is that it requires you to find new things to put on your\r\nshelves.<o:p></o:p></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">In addition, e-readers are superior\r\nto books because they are environmentally friendly. The average novel is about\r\n300 pages long. So, if a novel is printed 1000 times, it will use 300,000\r\npieces of paper. That’s a lot of paper! If there are about 80,000 pieces of\r\npaper in a tree, this means it takes almost 4 trees to make these 1000 books.\r\nNow, we know that the average bestseller sells about 20,000 copies per week.\r\nThat means that it takes over 300 trees each month to sustain this rate. And\r\nfor the super bestsellers, these figures increase dramatically. For example,\r\nthe Harry Potter book series has sold over 450 million copies. That’s about 2\r\nmillion trees! Upon viewing these figures, it is not hard to grasp the severe\r\nimpact of printed books on the environment.

It also allows highlighting and electronic bookmarking.\r\nFurthermore, it grants users the ability to get an overview of a book and then\r\njump to a specific electronic bookmarking. Furthermore, it grants users the\r\nability to get an overview of a book and then jump to a specific location based\r\non that overview.

An\r\ne-reader is a device that allows you to read e-books. An e-book is a\r\nbook-length publication in digital form, consisting of text, images, or both,\r\nand produced on, published through, and readable on computers or other\r\nelectronic devices.

The average e-reader can store thousands of\r\ndigital book, providing a veritable library at your fingertips. What is more,\r\nbeing the size and weight of a thin hardback, the e-reader itself is relatively\r\npetite. It is easy to hold and can fit in a pocketbook or briefcase easily. This\r\nmakes handling ponderous behemoths such as War and Peace, Anna Karenina, and\r\nLes Miserables a breeze.
