Benefits of eBooks
There are many benefits to owning and reading an eBook compare to a print book. Some of the main benefits are accessibility, portability, convenience, personalization, and privacy. Accessibility – you can instantly purchase and download eBooks in the palm of your hands. It cuts down on making a trip to the store or ordering it online and waiting for the book to arrive. Portability – eBooks can go wherever you go, since they can be read on your phone or tablet. We love our beautifully filled bookshelves, but if your shelf is full to the brim, or you’re a minimalist, then an eBook is the perfect option for you. Convenience – you can add notes, highlights, bookmarks, and look up words directly on your eBook, which is especially great when you’re reading a guide, textbook, or workbook. Personalization – you can adjust your reading experience according to your needs and preferences. You can adjust the brightness of your screen, font size, and more. Privacy – eBooks are great for readers who are more private about their choice of reading. You can read without receiving gazes from those around you while commuting or while in public.

eBooks for Kids
Growing kids can go through more books than parents can keep up with. You may want to switch over to eBooks for a convenient and fast experience. You won’t have to worry about packing the rights books or forgetting the books when going on a trip. eBooks are also great because they don’t weigh down your bag. There’s a wide variety of children's eBooks to choose from. Browse kid’s fiction eBooks, educational workbooks, history eBooks, picture eBooks, read-along eBooks, and more. Kids are ingesting new concepts and words at an incredible speed when reading, so it’s great to read on an eBook because kids can directly look up words, highlight words and phrases that they don’t understand or ones that resonate with them, and take notes to improve their reading skills.
