ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Ebook

An ebook is like a virtual book that you can read on a device like a tablet or a computer. It's not made of paper, so you can't hold it in your hand like a regular book. You need a special gadget like a Kindle or an app on your iPad to read it.

Just like a real book, an ebook has words and pictures, but instead of turning pages, you swipe your finger on the screen to go forward or back. You can also adjust the font size and brightness to make it easier to read.

The cool thing about ebooks is that you can have lots of them on one device without taking up space on your bookshelf. You can buy them online from websites like Amazon or Barnes & Noble, or borrow them from your library's website.

Some people prefer to read ebooks because they can travel with them easily and they don't have to worry about losing or damaging them like they might with a regular book. Plus, some ebooks have interactive features like videos or animations that make reading even more fun!
