Everything is going digital these days. It’s no surprise that even books are slowly but surely being replaced by e-books. E-books allow people to access the entire content of a book either through a small electronic e-book reading device, laptop, or even smart phones. There are digital libraries and different sites where you can easily download e-books. One of the biggest examples would be Amazon.com in the United States where you have thousands of different e-books right at your fingertips. The e-book industry is still in its infancy, though. That’s why many books aren’t available in digital form yet. This is especially the case for new books that have just been released. However, over time, we can expect to see more and more books being published in digital form.
