While the original e-book was simply a book that could connect to the internet solely for the purpose of purchasing other books, nowadays e-books are simply small tablets with special screens so that your eyes don’t get as tired reading off of e-books as they would off computers or tablets. Essentially, e-books and tablets have all of the same capabilities, with internet, email, music, etc. E-books may even be more practical since their memory is probably larger than the average tablet’s memory. While that may seem “fun” and “cool” to have a book that can do everything, it definitely changes the experience of reading, from being able to turn the pages to being more focused on your book because you don’t have any other distractors.
