eBooks

I am permanently attached to my laptop; I carry it with me everywhere I go. Often, I am in the cafeteria at lunch and I find myself just randomly browsing the internet. During one of my sessions, I discovered the world of ebooks.

Ebooks are books that are published and instead of being printed on paper, are created in a PDF file. Now I am fully aware that these books are not exactly new, but for me they are. I have always been of the opinion that you need to physically hold the book, and this hasn't completely changed. I still feel the need to buy my much loved hardcovers. However, for the sake of convenience, I am loving these ebooks.

I can get an ebook for the price of a paperback, download it on my computer, not have to carry one more thing around with me during the day and save space on my paperback bookshelf for those I just have to have in hardcopy. It's great!

So to spread my joy with ebooks, here are a few great sites to check out!

My latest find is audio books. Now that I have my new ipod, I just download and I can listen to them anywhere!
