Why Go Digital for eReading?

EBooks and eReaders have become increasingly popular, especially over the past few years.   They make it easy to keep your entire reading library at the touch of your fingertips without losing the place in a book you are reader, loading a suitcase full of books when you go on vacation, or running out of room storing your past reads in your house.   It has become a great tool in fighting back on waste and is more ecofriendly  than the traditional paperback or hardback manufacturing.   Most ereaders allow you to highlight passages to save for later, bookmark certain areas of the book, upload documents for you to take on the go with you, check the definition of a word by putting cursor over it, the ability to listen to music, or even like with the kindle switch to a Text To Speech mode that allows you to go hands free and have a computer generated voice read to you while you are busy doing other tasks.
