Ebooks, also known as digital books, actually got their start during the 70s but it wasn’t until more recent times that they’ve become a mainstream application. Ebooks are an electronic form of reading, kind of like reading on a computer screen except it more or less resembles reading from a book. Ebooks are read on an ebook reader, which is the actual “book.” The ebook itself can be thought of as the story that’s in the book. There are many advantages to the ebook over regular books, which mainly have to do with efficiency. You can instantly download an ebook, go to any point in the text without having to flip pages, and it’s like having a lot of books in one because you can store many ebooks and reuse the ebook reader indefinitely.

There’s no question that Harry Potter and Edward Cullen represent a couple of the most popular books around, but whether notoriety is more like it is another matter. Stephen King recently commented on the two authors and their respective series. King had nice things to say about Rowling, but he described Meyer as not writing “worth a darn.” Her many readers might disagree, but whose opinion should we believe?
