Why use an ebook format?
The ebook format saves the reader time and money and makes use of many unique features that a traditional book cannot offer. First, an ebook can be instantly downloaded onto your hard drive – no waiting for a book to arrive in the mail. Secondly, an ebook is less expensive because no paper or ink is used (unless you choose to print out all or part of the ebook), and the fees for a publisher and all the associated “middle men” are eliminated. Finally, you can zoom in on photos or graphics, enlarge or shrink the size of the page and the text, instantly search for key words or terms, and use embedded links to external sites for clarification or further research.
