6 Benefits of a Virtual Bookshelf

By Mike Harman | Blog, Digital Publishing, eBook solution, Education Technology | 0 comment | 7 December, 2022 | 1

A large number of readers are now choosing eBooks over physical books for various reasons, one of them being the fact that eBooks don’t acquire physical space as storage. If you are into reading and love collecting books, the struggle to find new space to store them when you run out of room in your bookshelf isn’t unknown to you.

Now, if you are one of those who have made the smart move of switching to eBooks – finding them at the right time can be a problem. To sort out this issue, invest in a digital bookshelf. Once you have a hold of them, you will be surprised at their immense benefits. In this article, we’ll discuss what a virtual bookshelf is and the advantages of using one. 

What’s a Virtual Bookshelf?

Simply put, a virtual bookshelf, or electronic bookshelf, is a virtual space that allows readers to store their eBooks just like they would store a physical book on a bookshelf for easy access.

The main difference is that a virtual bookshelf is for online books. Apart from that, an online bookshelf has various useful features that allow readers to have a smooth reading and learning experience online. 

Instead of scrolling for hours, readers can simply use the search feature by typing in the title of the book, author, description, or even relevant keywords to find the book they are looking for.

Needless to say, a virtual bookshelf will save you a lot of time and enhance your reading experience. In fact, virtual bookshelves are widely used by publishers as well as content creators so that readers find the right book for themselves in less time.

What are the Advantages of Using a Virtual Bookshelf?

A virtual bookshelf is a blessing for eBook readers because it saves them so much time. The thoughtful features of a bookshelf online make even physical book readers switch to eBooks.

You can not only find books easily on the bookshelf with the search feature, but you can also enlist the ones you want to read in the future. Apart from this, here are some advantages of a virtual bookshelf that make it a must-have for eBook users:

Keeps Your eBooks Neatly Arranged

If you own a regular bookshelf for your physical books, you know the amount of effort that goes into arranging them.

Some prefer organizing books by genre, some by author, while others prefer organizing them by the color of the book cover. And even after all that effort, the books get misarranged every time there’s a little lack of care.

This issue will be resolved forever once you switch to eBooks and use a virtual bookshelf to store them. Your books will always be organized, and you will never fear misplacing them. You will also be shown eBook suggestions based on your interests.

Simplifies Your Search for eBooks

Top virtual bookshelf platforms come with great interfaces to simplify your eBook searches. As previously discussed, you can search using keywords, descriptions, titles, and authors. You will be provided with multiple ways of browsing through the platform.

As a reader, you will highly appreciate the features of a virtual bookshelf, as it will never fail to give you what you’re looking for. 

Encourages Group Activities

Unlike physical libraries, you can use an electronic bookshelf to conduct group activities. Physical libraries are less likely to have multiple copies of the same book for each person in a group. This isn’t an issue with an electronic bookshelf.

You can easily allow access to all members of the group so that all of them can get digital copies of books for themselves. This will enhance the outcome of group activities because all the members will get access to the resources needed for projects. 

Supports both Offline and Virtual Teaching

eBook platforms have evolved so much over the last couple of years.

Now, users can annotate their eBooks, write important notes, and highlight important passages just like they would with a physical book.

This makes eBooks highly offline teaching-friendly. You can simply bring your digital device that has all your eBooks to attend online classes as well as offline classes.

You can also share your virtual bookshelf with your peers and subscribe to your classmates’ and instructors’ virtual bookshelves to get access to their notes and eBooks.

Provides Added Privacy

Electronic bookshelves are not only trusted by readers but also publishers because the platforms are completely safe and provide you with the utmost privacy.

As a reader or a publisher, you will not have to fear theft or misuse of the books you’ve added to your bookshelf. Top platforms offer safety features that allow you to restrict access and even put passwords so that you can prevent all sorts of unfortunate incidents. 

Gives You Easy Access Anytime, Anywhere

It’s not possible to carry all your books everywhere you go, but it’s possible to carry your digital devices with you.

Your virtual bookshelf will be your personal library, which you can carry with you wherever you go and read about your interests whenever you want. All you will need is a steady internet connection to read without disruptions.

However, many virtual bookshelves allow their users to download their books so that they can read them even without an internet connection. 

Conclusion

A digital bookshelf is crucial for learners, instructors, publishers, and content creators who are searching for a safe place to store their eBooks online and elevate their reading and learning experience. It can be your all-in-one online library because, with just a couple of clicks, you can find and read any book of your choice.

Apart from that, some of the best virtual bookshelves allow you to share your thoughts on the books you’re done reading, discuss them with other users on the platform, and so much more.

Join the emerging trend of reading eBooks and experience the never-ending advantages of a virtual bookshelf!
