Books are a bridge to another reality. It is for this reason that they are still popular today. After all, everyone is interested in looking at the world through the eyes of another person, and who, no matter how “paper friends”, are able to help do this. Plunge into a new political regime, experience the amazing discovery of a mysterious island, investigate cases with Ivan Putilin and much more - that's what the books give. However, not everyone can have an extensive library at home and take 3-5 novels on a trip, and listening to audiobooks is impossible because of the hustle and bustle. An excellent alternative is an e-book. For this reason, the editors of the site "bestx.htgetrid.com/en/" have prepared for you a rating of the best e-books up to 5,000 rubles for 2020.

Why read?
This question is more common in children, but not all adults are able to give an accurate and correct answer. Most say: "You will become smarter", "Broaden your horizons", etc. This is partly true, but in 2020 the horizons will be expanded by watching movies, communicating on the Internet, and reading interesting articles. Therefore, the question needs to be changed: "Why read books in 2020?" And it is no longer possible to answer this with the banal words that spoke to parents throughout childhood - this is a different era.
So why read if there is enough information already. The first and most important thing that the reading of fiction gives - the experience of the life of the protagonist, a person will survive with him everything, from ups to downs. In addition, light is revealed for a specific time period. If the history is written by the winners, then there is a great chance that some moments are embellished and presented incredibly. Of course, the authors also often exaggerate, but only artistic moments, they try not to distort the truth. Unless, of course, he is a good writer, not a money hunter.
The second thing books give is literate speech. A person, especially in childhood, often likes to adopt the habits of his idols, including tone, intonation, and the like. Since everything is described in the works in a detailed way, the reader understands what and how it is said and tries to repeat it, but it works well for those who read large cycles of novels, where there is one main character. Speech becomes literate for the reason that the author carefully thinks out the dialogues and accurately inserts words into sentences, which cannot but sink into the soul of a person and he, without realizing it, begins to speak in the words of the hero.
Third, books increase the possibilities of imagination. Undoubtedly, cartoons or films affect a person and his brain. His fantasy develops, but not as rapidly as when reading. After all, cinema is a finished result, a director's vision, which cannot be absolutely true or not. Each person decides for himself what is true for him, and the primary source helps him. There are no limits in the imagination - this is an open space for creativity, there you can do whatever you want and apply any decorations.
Book or electronic?
Many people hate e-books fiercely, they argue that they are not and have no soul. This is not true, because the works teach this that the main thing is not the shell, but the content. For someone, it may be pleasant to see hundreds of books on the shelves, this gives him status in his own eyes, and guests see that he is erudite. But you can read thousands of books and not understand a single one. People who chase after quantity lose in the quality of the knowledge gained.
In addition, buying an electronic model significantly saves space that can be used for more important things. Buying books as decor is not the best solution, because then the whole point is lost, and they become dust collectors.
In most models of e-books, the screen is made in such a way that reduces eye strain, and the user can independently increase or decrease the brightness. In paper versions, this will not work, you need to adjust to the light source, choose a place and pose. Moreover, they are inconvenient to read on the road, because a person can block all the light or the lighting will be scarce at all. Of course, such problems are not familiar to electronic models, but still there is a drawback that paper versions are not familiar with - dependence on the battery.
