“WORLD ‘READ AN E-BOOK’ DAY”
*SEPTEMBER 18TH*

*an electronic book is a ‘book publication’ made available in ‘digital form’, consisting of [‘text’ / ‘images’ / ‘text + images’] readable on the ‘flat-panel display’ of [‘computers’ / other ‘electronic devices’]*
.
Although sometimes defined as “an electronic version of a printed book”, some e-books exist without a printed equivalent.
Commercially produced and sold e-books are usually intended to be read on dedicated e-reader devices.
However, almost any sophisticated computer device that features a controllable viewing screen can also be used to read e-books, including desktop computers, laptops, tablets and smartphones.
In the 2000s, there was a trend of print and e-book sales moving to the Internet, where readers buy traditional paper books and e-books on websitesusing e-commerce systems.
With print books, readers are increasingly browsing through images of the covers of books on publisher or bookstore websites and selecting and ordering titles online; the paper books are then delivered to the reader by mail or another delivery service.
With e-books, users can browse through titles online, and then when they select and order titles, the e-book can be sent to them online or the user can download the e-book.
(at the start of 2012 in the U.S., more e-books were published online than were distributed in hardcover)
(the main reasons for people buying e-books online are possibly lower prices, increased comfort (as they can buy from home or on the go with mobile devices) and a larger selection of titles)
(with e-books, “[e]lectronic bookmarks make referencing easier, and e-book readers may allow the user to annotate pages”)
(“although fiction and non-fiction books come in e-book formats, technical material is especially suited for e-book delivery because it can be [electronically] searched” for keywords)
(in addition, for programming books, code examples can be copied)
(the amount of e-book reading is increasing in the U.S.; by 2014, 28% of adults had read an e-book, compared to 23% in 2013)
.
(this is increasing, because by 2014 -> 50% of american adults had an ‘e-reader’ or a ‘tablet’, compared to 30% owning such devices in ‘2013’)
