E-books are the trendy new way to read, and many people have already taken advantage of the environmentally friendly tool.The publication process of a book requires the use of many sheets of paper, on which the chapters of the book are printed. In addition, it relies on the industrial transportation of the finished product. This means that trees must be cut down and gallons of fuel must be burned in order for pieces of literature to reach the hands of the public. With e-books, the text is in electronic form and can be purchased from and downloaded directly to the e-book reader. This eliminates the need for paper and fuel, and cuts the cost of each text considerably!
And because e-book readers contain text that is in digital form instead of paper, they weigh much less than printed copies and are much easier to transport from place to place. Also, the device can hold more than one literary work at a time. In fact, according to Amazon.com, the Kindle weighs “only 10.3 ounces” and has a capacity of “over 200 titles.” This makes it almost effortless to carry a large quantity of literature from the house to the coffee shop, to the office or the park. So no matter where you are, you can scroll through hundreds of titles and choose whichever genre you wish.
In addition to this, e-book readers contain features that make reading easier. Some of the Kindle’s extras include a search option, a dictionary, and changeable font size. With these tools, you can search through each book for a particular word or phrase, look up an unfamiliar word, or adjust the size of the words to accommodate your vision needs.
With the demand for environmentally friendly products on the rise, what a great time for books to go green!
