How did I ever almost miss such an important event? Well, we certainly can&#8217;t let it pass us by without doing something, can we? So&#8230; here are some ideas to help you celebrate &#8220;Read an E-Book Week!&#8221;<br \/>\n<code> <\/code><br \/>\nBut, before I give you some options, why eBooks? Here&#8217;s 5 good reasons.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Time. No waiting around to get your books in the mail &#8211; or taking the time and money to go to the bookstore &#8211; to get started. Download today &#8211; and at many places, including all the free ones, immediately. Your book is only a click away.<\/li>\n<li>Space. Those books take up a lot less space on the computer than on the bookshelf.<\/li>\n<li>Security. Even when you print the book to read it, you still have a back-up copy on the computer, in case something happens to your hard copy.<\/li>\n<li>Availability. Many <strong>great<\/strong> old, out of print books aren&#8217;t available (are very hard to find, cost prohibitive prices, etc.) in hard copy. E-Books may be your <strong>only<\/strong> chance to get them.<\/li>\n<li>Cost. Many of these books are FREE, and others are cheaper than the hard copy would be.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><code> <\/code><br \/>\nDoes this mean I think eBooks are the way to go all out? No. eBooks have their place and they have some great reasons to utilize them. But they also have their limitations and drawbacks. I don&#8217;t <strong>ever <\/strong>want hard copy books to be <strong>replaced<\/strong> by eBooks. But I&#8217;ll save that for another day, or you can read what I&#8217;ve written about it in the past, on my <a href=\"http:\/\/frommeandmyhouse.com\/blog-led\" target=\"_blank\">Lifestyle Education through Discipleship\u2122 blog<\/a>.
