Can someone in words of one syllable explain Ebooks to me?

If you're not sure you will like them I would go with Eric_methven's suggestion and download the free app from amazon. You can then try the free books from amazon on your pc. If you do find you like the format you can get a kindle and when you register it the free books you have already will transfer to your kindle.

First of all I should say that I'm a book person, I love them and have a good amount covering a wide range of subjects.
I like the feel of books, the smell of them the weight in my handWasn't at all blown away by the idea of Kindles but...

I've recently borrowed one off a mate, its not bad at all. I put a PDF file from the computer on it but I couldn't zoom in on it. I assume that can be sorted somehow.
The E books however were easy to use and worked well.

Generally I found it easy to use, way thinner than a decent book and the thing holds a lot of info.
