7．E-book is short for electronic（电子） book．It is usually read on personal computers．Some mobile phones can also be used to read e-books．
     Earlier e-books were written for a certain group of readers and were about only a few subjects．With the development of the Internet，knowledge and answers to a lot of questions mainly come from e-books．This is why the e-book business is increasing quickly．
     E-books have many advantages．First，they save time．We don't need to go 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 us 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（阅读器），without worrying about their weight．
    But e-books have certain disadvantages．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（支持） or changed in the reader's computer．
    However，e-books provide us with a new way of reading．That is good．
