E-books are very important in the field of education for several reasons, including the following:
Studying anywhere and anytime
The e-book downloaded on a mobile phone, tablet or computer makes things much easier for the student. Instead of carrying a bag full of books, the student can download all the books on the mobile phone, which enables the student to follow his lessons and read his notes anywhere and anytime without fatigue.
The ability to access them without an Internet connection
In order to ensure that the Internet connection will not hinder the educational process, mobile devices have recently provided the service of downloading books or downloading any content that students want and saving it on their devices in order to review it at the appropriate time for them without the need to connect to the Internet.
Providing updated content for students
Previously, it was difficult to update the information in paper books because this required reprinting and modifying the books, but with the presence of e-books, it has become very easy as books can be modified electronically at any time, and this will certainly save the costs of reprinting paper books.
