I have been wanting to have an e-reader so I can stop piling up physical books (takes a lot of space) and im not sure if i should straight buy an e-reader (do they have programmed obsolence issues too?) or an affordable and durable netbook/notebook/tablet
ePubs are generally a bit smaller than PDF’s, and more critically, allow the text to reflow to fit the screen of any device, or to your personal preference (such as spacing, font size, ragged edge vs full justification, etc). It’s the best open-source format for reading on a device, IMHO.
Is it safe as PDF (i know PDF can be virus ridden by usually embedding the virus in specific parts of the PDF layers or so I heard a while ago, which I usually am careful what PDF i open) or more/less?
Should be, yes.
Thanks, I’ll try it
