5 Ways E-Books Can Enhance Summertime Fun

holiday-on-beach-in-summerSummer is such a good time to dive into a book that there are whole genres devoted to “summer reading” or “beach books.” To get the most from your reading – and your summer – consider these five ways to combine summer fun with reading, using cutting-edge e-book technology to make it all happen.

Surround Yourself with Experts

Take professionals with you as you exercise or work. You can instantly download books, magazine articles, journal articles, and other handy resources and DIY guides. But you don’t have to organize which ones to take with you and lug them around with you. When you go up the ladder, down in the basement, out to the gym or running trail, or to the base of the next mountain you want to climb everything in your library can accompany you on your e-reader device. There will be no more need for holding the pages down when the wind blows, as you study a diagram that explains how to tie the perfect sailor’s knot to secure your boat. Just bring that page up on your e-reader with both hands free to work with the rope.

Live and Learn

Mind the academic gap while enjoying time away from school. Getting away from classrooms and into the real world is an important element of education, because it allows you to start applying your learning, your critical thinking skills, and your knowledge in ways that are practical. Whether you’re in your first year of med school or in first grade, summertime is a great opportunity to read more, keep your brain sharp, and also catch up on pleasure reading that will open your mind and stimulate your imagination. Textbooks and even little children’s books can be cumbersome and create clutter, though, so just carry all that powerful knowledge in the palm of your hand in the form of an e-reader. You can even put an entire library of 1,000 titles on a USB stick that is about the size of a stick of lip balm, by taking advantage of the groundbreaking “Stick Library” innovation from Free-eBooks.net that makes it not just possible but also amazingly affordable.

Leverage Your Life

Grill easier, play safer, and travel lighter. Instead of ruining your recipe book by spilling barbeque sauce all over it while balancing it near flames on your outdoor grill that could set it ablaze, just take your e-reader, in a reliable protective cover that can be wiped clean, out to the deck or patio where you’re going to cook. Then use the e-book features to adjust the font automatically so that it is large enough to read from a safe distance and you’re good to go.

Before you pack for that trip overseas, lighten the load by putting all your reading material and those foreign language phrase books on your e-reader. Are you in charge of watching the kids at the swimming pool, or are you wondering what to do if you are bitten by a snake, need to fend off a shark, or need to find directions with a compass or by using the stars? There is an e-book or e-magazine article out there that can solve any of these challenges, so download a first aid e-book or a training manual on water safety; a guide to poisonous plants like sumac and poison ivy; or read up on ways to survive in the wild. Then conveniently take all of that info with you, without adding any bulk or unwanted weight to slow you down.

Diversify Your Assets

The best, most marketable asset you have is yourself, so while you are relaxing this summer why not improve your skills, learn a new way to earn, or even start a writing career? Armed with e-books you can do all of that while lying on the beach – and many of your most creative ideas will come to you while you are in that more relaxed and rejuvenated state of mind. If you want to start an online enterprise, there are tons of books that will help you learn to be a successful entrepreneur. Do you need to study for a GED, SAT, or professional licensing exam? Use electronic study guides to make it easier. Are you brimming with stories? The woman who became a billionaire author by writing Harry Potter books used to scribble pages on the bus while commuting to work. You can write from anywhere and then submit your electronic manuscripts instantly – to sites including Free-eBooks.net – to instantly connect with readers all over the world.

Green Your Wallet and the World

Everyone gains a keener appreciation for the great outdoors during the summertime, and they also tend to become a whole lot more aware of the value of having some savings to pay for things like vacations. E-books can teach you ways to plan a budget, set aside for retirement, manage tuition, figure out ways to pay off student loans, and tips for securing loans for a boat, rental income property, or small business selling tee shirts and suntan lotion on the boardwalk. You name it, e-books can make it happen – and e-books and e-readers don’t require cutting down trees. They run on very little electricity, and you can even power an e-reader with alternative sources like solar energy. Save money while helping save the planet, just by doing more of what you love – namely, reading in the summertime.
