Now, more and more people prefer e-books to traditional ones because they can save them time and money. However, with the flood of various e-books, more and more people are aware of the disadvantages of e-books.
The fact that e-books require special devices or PCs can be seen as a disadvantage. Many e-books are typically manufactured to be compatible with specific software, which in turn may not be readily available. Because e-books depend on other devices, certain hardware or software bugs can affect them. If the hardware, internet connection, or battery power required for an e-book reader is not readily available, its electronic documents are useless. In addition, e-books are dependent on hardware and software and are more easily damaged than a printed book
E-book readers are certainly more expensive than printed books. All e-book devices require electricity. There is a growing concern that the e-books currently may not be accessible or compatible with future e-book software or devices.
Screen glare and eyestrain are serious concerns for many potential users of e-book technology. A major concern when reading from an e-book reader could be eye injury. The display resolution of computer screens and electronic devices is significantly lower than the print quality of a printing press.
Reading from a computer lacks the familiarity and comfort of reading from a book. A paper book can be opened and flipped through, while an electronic text is more difficult to navigate.
E-books have an unreliable lifespan. Paper has a much longer lifespan than most forms of digital storage. Due to the rapid development of new computer systems, it is difficult to assess whether the software or hardware will become obsolete. As new hardware is developed, structures need to be put in place to allow migration of existing materials to the new platforms so that they remain accessible. In addition, procedures for storing the electronic documents must be developed. A high level of device reliability must be part of the electronic devices that take on the replacement of printed books.
Standing out from “almost everyone” can be difficult. because almost anyone can create an e-book. In order for your book to match a “real” book, you should find and rate several ebook publishers before making a deal. A flashy website doesn’t guarantee a great publisher. Check out their ebooks and see if yours does fits this mix.
