About The New Ebook

50 Benefits of Ebooks is a lively introduction to the brave new worlds of ebooks and electronic publishing. The book makes no attempt to be comprehensive. Instead, the work focuses on 3 areas:
1) the new, useful and most interesting aspects of the ebook experience;
2) the free (and approaching low-cost) ebooks that might inspire a genuine publishing
revolution; and
3) how reading good books (whether made of paper or of bytes) might transform our culture and our personal lives.

Author Michael Pastore writes:
"I love paper books, and I hope that they are never completely replaced by their electronic progeny. Nevertheless, every day, ebooks are growing in use, in sales, and in significance. After years of sputtering, the Digital Reading Revolution has at last arrived. 50 Benefits of Ebooks is your friendly and reliable guide."
