The disadvantages

- Piracy is the number one concern for both publishers and authors. While traditional books can be copied with machines, the time and cost of doing so typically keeps this type of piracy at bay. With eBooks, however, “sharing” books that have not been purchased with others is as easy as posting a file online or, in some cases, copying and pasting the text from one document to another.

- Many people still prefer being able to hold a traditional book in their hands. For those of us who enjoy reading a book in bed before signing off for the night, a cold hard digital device just won’t be the same.

- While one advantages of eBook device is their ability to enlarge fonts for easier reading, the fact is one is still reading off an LCD screen. Unlike paper, these screens provide a glare that not only make reading inconvenient if the lighting isn’t just right, the glare may actually cause eye strain and make it more difficult to focus while reading.

- With the wide variety of formats and eReader devices on the market, choosing which device is right one for all situations can be nearly impossible. Though compatible formats have been introduced that should allow most readers to view purchases, many of these still lack proper formatting. Without proper page layouts and spacing reading becomes more of a tedious chore than an enjoyable pastime. With traditional books one simply buys and reads!

- When is the last time you had to plug your paper book into the wall outlet? How disappointing would it be to find yourself right in the middle of a steamy romance scene while traveling only to have the batteries in your reading device die, with no way to charge them?

- Currently eBooks have an unreliable life span. Paper books last for decades provided they are well cared for. And besides, what good is a bookshelf if you cannot enjoy the look and smell of all your time-worn books, lovingly thumbed, crimped and read cover to cover, over and over again?

While some may find the transition from paper books to eBooks impossibility, many have already embraced the technology as the status quo. Young people especially are finding eBook options as appealing and convenient. For those who find the advantages of eBook more appealing than the “old way” of reading there are several eBook stores reviewed on this site, such as Amazon Kindle Store and more, that can help users find the best bargains and options.
