E-books have many advantages. First, they save time. We don't need to go to a bookstore to buy books. Besides, we can find the topic we want to know about on the Internet, and then we can quickly get many e-books on similar topics. Second, e-books save money. Some e-books cost a little money, and there are millions of e-books on the Internet that we can get for free.Third, more trees are saved because e-books don't need to be printed on paper. Fourth, e-books make reading more convenient. You can carry a whole library of hundreds of books with you in a small computer or any e-book reader(电子阅读器）without worrying about their weight.

But e-books have some problems. They need a personal computer or an e-book reader and the information can be lost if its file format(文件格式)is not supported or changed in the reader's computer.
