<\/a><\/p>\nNobody can deny that the smell of a paper book is way better than the flat body of an ebook reader, smartphone or any computer display.<\/p>\n
There is no such feeling as holding a physical book in your hands and turning the pages, feeling them.<\/p>\n
Still, e-books are such a convenience.<\/p>\n
With electronic books, the reader gets unlimited options and benefits.<\/p>\n
They are cheaper, for there are no costs for printing and paper.<\/p>\n
E-books are instant, with just one click you can download an e-book for just a second and dive into the words.<\/p>\n Nowadays, everybody can write an ebook and publish online, therefore many and many new authors get into the light and reading resources will never end.<\/p>\n E-books are a digital full-content book that can be read on any device that supports the specific file type – PDF, epub, Mobi, txt, etc.<\/p>\n They are usually purchased from e-book retailers unless the author of the e-book you want to read doesn’t share it for free on the Internet.<\/p>\n Downloading a book that usually has to be bought is in violation with copyrights and this is called \u201cpirate downloading\u201d.<\/p>\n E-readers are tablet-looking devices that have special e-ink screens.<\/p>\n These screens are eye-friendly, because of the special technology that does not radiate harmful light for the eyes.<\/p>\n E-readers can only produce display light when they are on a night reading mode.<\/p>\n E-readers can save thousands of e-books, depending on the storage limit they have.<\/p>\n It usually starts from 4GB and you could upgrade it with extra storage cards like SD cards.<\/p>\n E-books can be read also on all smartphones and computers, usually without the need of installing additional programs.<\/p>\n E-books are becoming more and more popular due to the fact that they are easy to operate with.<\/p>\n Everybody could write or read an e-book and also, marketing them is way easier than the physical paperbacks.<\/p>\n It is more efficient to spread the word about a book that one can click on and start reading it immediately after that, rather than a book that has to be bought from a store.<\/p>\n Publishing houses and indie authors find it easier to get their work in the hands of their readers by sharing the news in different social media.<\/p>\n Therefore more new e-books, not paperbacks, are coming out every day.<\/p>\n As we already mentioned, if you are using an e-reader for reading e-books, you are going to get a real paper-like experience.<\/p>\n E-ink displays are designed to be looking as much like real paper and to be eye-friendly.<\/p>\n However, if you do not have enough to invest in buying an e-reader with an e-ink display, then you could read e-books, as already mentioned earlier in this article, from your mobile phone, tablet, and computer.<\/p>\n Yet, these options are not very welcoming to your eyes and a long period of reading form them may lead to eye strain and vision damage due to the blue light emitted by the LCDs.<\/p>\n Blue light<\/a> exposure is very harmful to proper eye function.<\/p>\n In order to have a great e-book reading experience on LCD screens, we recommend computer glasses or even easier solution: Iris the software that blocks blue light<\/a> from your devices.<\/p>\n Iris<\/a> is a program that is going to let you read for hours and not feel that eye strain you would usually get from staring in the display.<\/p>\n Iris is available for Windows, Android, and iOS.
