E-Book Application

Abstract

As of 2011, a survey was conducted by Li within the academic domain which further proposed a study that among all survey respondents over half of the respondents preferred and used electronic books in their work. According to the research, 2 billion books are produced in the US alone annually which requires the consumption of 32 million trees. One A4 sheet takes 10 litres of water to be produced. No harm can overshadow the alarming environmental harm our planet goes through to produce paper for the books each year. It is depleting our water and destructing our planet by adding to the global warming crisis. No matter how successful a business is, there comes a time when you need to find a new sales channel. Printed books have reigned the world for thousands of years, but now it is time for it to evolve too. In this digital era where everyone is shifting towards online business, e-books have also gained immense importance amongst people. The rapid increase of e-Books has modified the interface of library catalogues by providing the members with access to more information. Rosso identified the main purpose in preferring e-books to include mobility, saving physical space, saving time and money, and ease-of-use while enhancing the learning process. A person can carry the utmost 2 to 3 books with himself anywhere to read, instead of packing a ton of books to read; he can download an e-book application so he could carry thousands of books without weighing less with him throughout the world wherever he goes. Every time a person requires reading a book, he has to go to a book shop and buy the book on his own but the e-book application enables the user to download books that save the user time of going somewhere to buy the hardcopy as well as the printing cost. Digital books let the user read his favourite books on the go with enabling him to get all the information he requires under a single screen. Hence, our final year project proposes a solution to all these problems by creating an E-book Application that has all the required features which the other applications lack and in a low pricing model. We will make a complete web application for online reading.
