Electronic book

I read a article is about “e-book”, what's e-book? I do not know this noun when I read the article

before, so I do want to know this word, I went to find the Wikipedia, there's explain is clear for me,

it said: An electronic book (variously, e-book, e-book, digital book) is a book-length publication in d

digital form, consisting of text, images, or both, and produced on, published through, and readable on

computers or other electronic devices. Sometimes the equivalent of a conventional printed book,

electronic books can also be born digital. The Oxford Dictionary of English defines the electronic book

as "an electronic version of a printed book, but e-books can and do exist without any printed

equivalent. electronic book are usually read on dedicated e-book readers. Personal computers and some

mobile phones can also be used to read.

It's have a great advantage, the advantage is that when people reads the book and they do not needs

take the heavy book anymore, it is really convenient for people, just take a electronic products like I-

Pad, I- Phone......, and a 8G memory card, people can reads book in anywhere, like crowed bus,

morning's MTR, even while walking.

An electronic book can be used immediately after download, but the real book needs to go to the store

to buy it or go to the library to borrow it, and the production of e-book does not consume any paper and

ink.

I believe that the electronic book will be gradually replaced the real book in the future.
