The conversion of information, such as from traditional printed textbooks to electronic reading devices like book readers, smartphones, and tablets, has contributed to the evolution of teaching methods in this way. For instance, in January 2022, as of The World Economic Forum, a Switzerland-based nongovernmental organization, 92 million understudies enrolled for Coursera's online courses in 2021, an increment of 29% compared to 2020, when 71 million students enlisted for online courses.

The eBook provides readers with the convenience of accessing a large library of content on their electronic devices, making it easy for them to carry and access many titles wherever they are going.
