Books versus Ebooks

Books have always been the best friends of man. They provide comfort in times of despair and hopelessness. They shed light on darker sides of life. They record human history and act as memory of man. Without books, it will be hard to trace our history and the history of our ancestors.

The biggest advance in the publication of books came with the advent of the Printing Machines. Before that, books were written with hand and it was a tiresome procedure to publish a book . But the invention of printing machines made this task very simple.

The next big leap came with the introduction of computer graphics in book publishing. It became very productive. Computer helped in publishing books with richer content and with greater speed.

But the biggest challenge printed books face is from ebooks. Ebooks have added a whole new dimension to the books marketing. These are paperless books and cost very little when compared with the printing costs of other books. Moreover, they are easy to market and have a bigger audience in the shape of Internet audience.
