1. Ebooks promote reading. People are spending more time in front of screens and less time in front of printed books.
2. Ebooks are good for the environment. Ebooks save trees. Ebooks eliminate the need for filling up landfills with old books. Ebooks save transportation costs and the pollution associated with shipping books across the country and the world.
3. Ebooks preserve books. (The library of Alexandria was burned and the collection ruined. Richard Burton's wife, after his death and against his wishes, destroyed a book he had been working on for ten years. The original manuscript of Carlyle's The French Revolution was lost when a friend's servant tossed it into the fire.) Ebooks are ageless: they do not burn, mildew, crumble, rot, or fall apart. Ebooks ensure that literature will endure.
4. Ebooks, faster to produce than paper books, allow readers to read books about current issues and events.
5. Ebooks are easily updateable, for correcting errors and adding information.
6. Ebooks are searchable. Quickly you can find anything inside the book. Ebooks are globally searchable: you can find information in many ebooks.
7. Ebooks are portable. You can carry an entire library on one DVD.
8. Ebooks (in the form of digital audio books) free you to do other activities while you are listening.
9. Ebooks can be printable: and thereby give a reader most or all of the advantages of a paper-based book.
10. Ebooks defy time: they can be delivered almost instantly. Ebooks are transported to you faster than overnight shipping: in minutes or in seconds.
11. Ebooks defy space: ebooks online can be read simultaneously by thousands of people at once.
12. Ebooks are cheaper to produce. Thus, small presses can attempt to compete with media giants.
13. Ebooks are cheaper to buy.
14. Ebooks are free. The magnificent work of Project Gutenberg, and other online public libraries, allow readers to read the classics at no cost.
15. Ebooks can be annotated without harming the original work.
