Gone are the days of shelves stacked with books. With the popularity of the digital form increasing, ebooks and e-readers have now become the norm with most bookworms. Paperbacks and hardbound books take up a lot of space, older books are susceptible to damage and carrying multiple books during travels becomes difficult. On the other hand, ebooks do not take up any space and there’s no danger of it getting damaged with age either. And a single e-reader can store thousands of books. So, travelling with all your favorite books becomes easy!
