With the startling rise of electronic publishing, nearly everyone seems to be new to iPad and Kindle books. Understanding what they are, where to get them, and what is available is important. Those that do not know what they are looking at may not realize what they have purchased.
Maybe the most important point is that these books only exist on the computer. Those ordering a copy without realising this will sit around waiting for the mailman or courier truck forever. The file is downloaded either straight to the user's gizmo or to their PC prior to being loaded on a device or read with an application.
Different devices use different file layouts. There are programs that will change one format to another, but they only work on some files. Others have security features to stop them from being copied or modified, and must be acquired in the form they will be used. Amazon uses a type with the extension mobi. Most others use what is usually called epub, which is also the extension. Some online outlets offer other formats that only work with 1 or 2 devices, or in PDF which is readable on virtually anything.
These e-books are gaining recognition for several reasons. Travelers and bookworms love them because they are able to always have lots to hand to read. All the stories fit in one small electronic device, instead of heavy old paperbacks. That suggests they can have an entire library in their backpack or purse without the weight.
Doctors and students also enjoy the light weight. Not just that, but they can use search features to find exactly what they are trying to find. Instead of on the hunt for subjects in the table of contents or index, they can type their phrase in and have it highlighted. Doctors and other medical professionals can carry around their reference guides without getting sore backs or letting patients know they are looking things up.
There is also the lightening-fast delivery. When something looks fascinating, it can be purchased and prepared to read in a few seconds. Compared against waiting around for a store to open or a paper copy to be delivered the time required is non-existent. Even better there isn't any waiting in line for midnight releases of popular stories, or out of stock notices at the beginning of semesters.
Still others enjoy the privacy. No matter what is being read, the cover looks the same. This is freeing, and saw sales of erotica and romance soar. It allows girls and men to enjoy stories and subjects they will not otherwise let themselves even look at. Adults who wouldn't need to be known for reading young adult literature can enjoy their stories, too.
The upward thrust of iPad and Kindle books saw a re-emergence in several areas of literature. Short story writers flourish with nobody telling them their stories are too short or long for publication. Fiction is allowed to be as long or short as required to tell the story. And episodic stories are emerging, bringing folks a new adventure once every week or month.
