An E-book is a book in a digital structure, it can be a document scanned into PDF (Portable Document Format) or it may appear in rich text format according to Pipes (2005). The availability of E-books in the World Wide Web is expanding daily, reaching out to a large targeted audience. On the other hand, print books have shorter shelf life than E-books.
When binding E-books, one must take account of the forms used. According to Walsh (2006), readers will go through different point of understanding the text when studying and analyzing the content. Hence, potential E-book publishers must take account the typography and images used, to avoid confusion among readers.

In my opinion, I would opt for E-books as it is portable to almost anywhere as long as I have a laptop or a personal computer to access to the internet.
