 What is your favorite way of reading books?

Well, there are several formats of books available, giving you full discretion to choose your most preferred mode of accessing the information you want to extract from any book. We will take you through different formats of books available so that you can carefully choose the format that best fits you. Let's get started. 

Hard Copy or Printed Books. 

Hard copy, or printed books, are books that are available on the shelves in our traditional libraries, bookstores, shops, and on the streets. These types of books score higher than other forms of books due to their advantages. That's a topic for another day. But just for a hint. Hard copy books are easier on the eyes compared to ebooks and are ranked as the easiest to read. However, they are relatively expensive compared to ebooks owing to their cost of production incurred during printing. You can access hard copy books that are very new from the publishers or as secondhand or used books. 

eBooks

eBooks refer to those books that come in electronic format. These types of books will require you to use a device like a Kindle, smartphone, tablet, or computer to read them. There are several formats of ebooks. We will go through each one of them. 

Kindle Books

Kindle books are those ebooks available in the Amazon library. They are incorporated into the Amazon systems, and once bought on the Amazon website, they are delivered to your Kindle library. Kindle books are accessed and read on a special Amazon application called the "Kindle." The Kindle app can be downloaded on your PC and smartphone. The Kindle device is available on Amazon, and you can purchase it to easily access the Kindle books. The advantages of Kindle books include their affordability and ease of access anytime, anywhere, in their thousands. 

Audiobooks. 

Audiobooks are those books that have been converted into audio form. All you need to do is to tune in and listen. Among the advantages of audiobooks are that they are cheap and allow multitasking. You can listen to the book as you continue with your normal duties. The audio speed can also be adjusted to suit your preferred speed. 

PDF

PDF books are books that have been converted to normal PDF format. They are common on the market, extremely cheap, and open with a normal smartphone, tablet, or computer. 

 

EPUB Books

EPUB books are available in the form of EPUB files that allow you to navigate from one page to another with a lot of ease and finesse. It is not very common, but it acts as a substitute for PDF files. The advantages of EPUB books are that they are fun to read on an EPUB app and allow conversion to other versions like PDF. EPUB books are also relatively cheaper and more affordable. 

There are other formats of books that continue to come up as innovation is an ongoing process. Choosing which format best suits you depends on several factors, including cost, ease of access, and whether you are buying them for yourself or someone else. Of course, you have to consider the other person's preference too.
