An ebook (electronic book) is a book presented in digital format that people can read on dedicated e-readers, mobile phones, tablets, or P.Cs. Due to ebooks’ accessibility and immense popularity, many classics and old bestselling books have been republished as ebooks. Even many authors are now choosing to mainly publish their books only in ebook format. In 1949, a Spanish teacher, Angela Ruiz Robles invented the first automated book reader, the Enciclopedia Mecánica...her idea of an automated reader was born out of the desire to reduce the number of books that kids had to carry to school every day. today...only 7% of the American adult population read ebooks....so today is the day to give it try if you haven't before.
