Hobby is something common between human beings, from the classic hobby collecting stamps to be a blogger there are something that people would like to do during their free time. As for me since small until now my all time favorite is reading story books.
As my parents are teachers, its not something unusual that my house equipped with a lot of storybooks. I know how to read in 3 languages which is English, Malay and Tamil. As a trilingual reader during my school time it is quit easy to get story books because i will borrow it from library or my parents will buy it for me.
At the age of 20, borrowing books from library is not an option for me anymore and the cost of a novel is more than RM 20 which is for me is a waste of money because nobody likes to read the same novel over and over. So when i enter university, i have a full access to use internet. That is how i found e-book.
E-book is an electronic version of a book. There are a lot of website which are providing e-book to be downloaded by users. There are two types of excess to the e-book , one is free excess and another one is pay for the excess. Its not a very wise idea in my opinion to pay for something which you can get it for free. Usually you can use a keyword "e-book free download" to search in the search engines and tadaa... you have the listings of free e-books websites online. Just click any websites and search for the genre that you want and download the e-book of your choice.
Normally the e-books will be in pdf (portable document format) or in a compressed file. For the pdf file you just can use Adobe Reader to read the book. If it is a compressed file you have to use software such as Winrar or Winzip to decompress the file and read it using adobe reader.
There are a lot of gadget can be used to read e-book such as computer, laptop, tablets, ipad and also smartphones. My favorite gadget would be smartphone because it is more convenient and portable because it is small in size. For me is a dream come true to read storybooks without any cost of money,
But i limit myself to read only storybook and not educational books because reading storybooks didn't need much concentration and i don't need to store the important points into my memory. But its vice verse when reading educational e books. So i prefer the old printed book method the read educational book .
