The world has changed.
In this day and age, virtually everyone's daily routine is supplemented in some way by technology. State of the art super computers are available on even modest budgets. Chic new laptops are showcased at every coffee house in the big cities. New smart phones are as advanced as most desktop computers. A whole generation of people never leave home without their portable iPods and MP3 players. As these modern devices become more and more commonplace, the elements of our lives that haven't evolved are highlighted. Soon technology will inevitably be integrated into all aspects of our lives as the demand for convenience, efficiency, and flexibility continues to arise. As such, it is now time to get ready for the next mainstream technological revolution, the eBook.
Some of the more obvious benefits of eBooks are easy to see, such as the ability to carry countless books with you wherever you go, but the advantages of eBooks go on and on. I don't use the term “revolution” lightly when I say that eBooks are revolutionizing the industry.

So easy a caveman could do it.
Not only are eBooks accessible from anywhere with internet access, 24 hours a day, and 365 days a year. They are also cheaper, easier to purchase, and sometimes even free. No more shipping and handling charges; no more trips to the bookstore only to find that the book you want is sold out. They are always available and always easy to access.
Speaking of ease, everything about eBooks is simple, fast, and hassle free. Purchasing an eBook takes seconds and downloading them is just as quick. You won't even have to leave your seat. Sharing eBooks is as easy as copying the files or printing the eBook out on paper; that's right, eBooks are printable - just in case you miss the feeling of turning real paper with your thumb and index finger. That also means you'll never have to worry about that friend we all have who always borrows books and never returns them.

Studies show that eBooks prevent blindness.
For many of us, our eyeballs don't work as well as they did when we were younger. Small text becomes harder and harder to see. Well, with eBooks, text size, fonts, styles, and format can all be customized to your personal preferences. Making your text larger not only allows you to see it more clearly, but prevents you from straining your eyes and making your vision worse.
But if you are already blind, you can still enjoy eBooks.
With the right software and reader, eBooks can be converted to audio allowing you to enjoy books while working, doing chores, going to bed, or any other activity you can come up with. Many eBooks are already converted into audio with a live human narrator, but you can also equip your reader with software that allows any eBook to be converted into audio format using state of the art technology.
eBooks also have other multimedia features such as the ability to have full quality pictures, animations, and videos embedded within them adding to the immersion and interactivity of this innovative new technology.

eBooks are impossible to destroy and have an average lifespan of infinity.
They can't burn, be broken, fade, or tear. Countless invaluable historical books and documents have been lost in natural disasters or wars. Once an eBook is published it is virtually impossible to permanently lose it.
Also, you can create backups on any form of data storage such as hard drives, flash drives, CD's, DVD's etc. if you do manage to destroy or damage your eBook reader. eBook devices are easy to replace and by the time you happen to break or lose it, you will probably have already set your eyes on a newer, fancier model.
eBooks never get old and never fade like conventional books. Once you have downloaded an eBook, you will have it forever if you make sure to save backups or print hard copies.

eBooks never get old and never fade like conventional books. Once you have downloaded an eBook, you will have it forever if you make sure to save backups or print hard copies.
Over 9,000 eBooks can fit in the space it takes to store one conventional book.
An eBook device is usually smaller than a conventional book and can be stored easily in backpacks, laptop cases, and purses. Some can even fit in your pocket.
You also don't have to store your collection in an eBook reader; you can store your books on flash drives, CDs, DVDs, external hard drives, etc. at your convenience.
Most of us don't live in gigantic houses where space isn't an issue. Many of us live in small houses or with roommates where every inch of space matters. Imagine how much space eBooks can save when an entire city library of books can fit into one eBook device.
The size of your eBook reader is also up to you. If you prefer larger ones, so that you can make your text really large and visible, there are plenty of options available for you. If you prefer a small pocket-sized one that you can take with you while you wait in the lobby for a dentist appointment, those are just as easy to find.

Everyday, eBooks are saving the world.
Every year, 30 million trees are cut down for the purpose of manufacturing books. No trees are cut down to manufacture eBooks as there is obviously no paper in an eBook.
Disposing an eBook creates no waste. A thrown away conventional book will usually end up in a landfill.
No resources are wasted shipping or packaging eBooks and since no vehicles are required to distribute them, no pollution is created.

eBooks have already progressed exponentially in recent years, both in terms of popularity and the advancement of newer technologies to make eBooks the standard form of sharing and distributing literature in the future.

Interactivity. Put the pop up books away.
Remember when you were a child and you thought pop up books were the coolest invention ever? Times that by a million. Interactive adventure eBooks are available for children.
Huge fantasy production companies such as Disney are investing in providing immersive interactive experiences for children the likes of which earlier generations never got to enjoy.
Interactive eBooks are also useful in the classroom allowing kids to have fun while learning and take an active role in their educational experience.

An eBook library is like a real library except awesome instead of lame.
Unless you enjoy the morose solitude of a real library, eBook libraries offer countless advantages over their languid ancestors. It is easy to search for a book you are looking for in seconds using an eBook library rather than hobbling down endless library aisles on various corners of the building while trying to carry all the other books you've collected.
Hyperlinks are often featured in non-fiction works to reference further information or point to their sources.
Notes can be taken on any page without causing permanent damage to the book in the form of ink.
Instead of searching through giant non-fiction books for specific passages, you can use the search function in an eBook to find what you're looking for in a matter of seconds.

Still not convinced?
We all could use more money. If you are an avid reader and purchase books on a regular basis, you could save A LOT of money by buying eBooks instead.
Conventional book prices are rising. I don't know if this is to encourage eBook sales or not, but the fact is they are getting more expensive while eBooks are getting cheaper. You can get bundle deals on eBooks or unlimited access deals to whole libraries of eBooks.

There is, of course, a downside.
All things have disadvantages and eBooks are no exception if you like having giant libraries or just enjoy the feel of real books, or something.
