This thread is misleading..in my school federal university of technology owerri,I know girls studying engineering whose laptops have dozens of e-books on them..mostly for their courses..don't generalize..

Egba girl: I really dont get this thread. Is it about reading books or reading E-BOOKS? Y'al making seem like E-BOOKS are the ish. I mean what if they prefer buying hard copies? It would have been different if the question had been books in gen and not e-books. still smh.

Wat this thread means is dat 'Girls do not read educative materials' rada d spend most of their money buying SEXY MOVIES, LATEST FONES, LATEST FASHION OF KLOTHS, 75 Inches Of Brazilian Hair etc.

There are 3 in every 2 millions girls dat does dat

Not only Nigerian Ladies, but african as a whole. There's a saying that if you want to hide anything from a black man, put it in a book. He will never read it. We all need to change from this deadly habit

ayox2003:

thank you sarutobie!

Why are we Nigerians so petty about things? So buying e-books has become a status thing now?

Hmmmmm, I weep for the 'future'.

ediko5:

based on what statistics?

ikee: Not only Nigerian Ladies, but african as a whole. There's a saying that if you want to hide anything from a black man, put it in a book. He will never read it. We all need to change from this deadly habit

I agree with U. But the way @OP asked his question didn't reflect that most book(including e-books) contains wisdom, rather as if e-books are status indicator.
I think NL has been invaded by juveniles.

One problem with this thread is that it is such a generalization. How can you say Nigerian girls dont read!!! Out of how many millions. The Nigerian girls I know read and read wide. Yal just need to get with the intelligent ones. It is also very possible to balance both fashion and books. Many Nigerian girls read.

Curious_city: Why are we Nigerians so petty about things? So buying e-books has become a status thing now?

Thats why I kept asking if there was something special about e-books! I couldnt understand. *sigh*

What is so special about ebooks

What is so special about ebooks.

The only way this topic makes sense is if the OP is thinking of starting an ebook business which caters ONLY to Nigerian Girls and he is doing a feasibility study.

What say you. . .OP?

ahhahahahahahahha good one!

For now, I've got more important stuff to do with money, so just want to find a place to download it for free, if anyone can help out....and before some nutjob flings baseless accusations at me, I'm still a student living on pocket money from my parents, and I definitely am not waiting on a moneybag to give me squat.

U guys disgust me!!! There are so many tech savvy and intelligent Nigerian girls, yet u chose to generalize with d dumbos who's primary care is servicing u and buying brazilian hair. Nigerians in general don't read, ebook or paperback, so why take it out on the girls? Most of the foolish guys commenting don't read anything that isn't porn so who are you to judge? I read a lot of books and in recent times ebooks, though I don't buy dem. why pay for wat u can get free? Now guys, if u know u have insulted a woman, then ur an ignorant fool and all the ebooks in d world can't help u......

The answ depends on many factors, generally not many people know about the flexibility and ease of having e-book over hard cover tho both have its own pro and cons, secondly not many ppl know where to get ebooks related to their field, have internet access, even if they do, ease of buying no matter how important it is. some may not have requisite reading medium (pc /ipad etc) to conveniently utilize ebooks, so in d face of some of these hurdles it may be easier getting available hard cover as alternative or simply divert the cash to other things like . . . . . (dont ask me, i'm sure u alr knw) but a guy will always seek ways to get the knowledge he desire, so if its as easy or difficult as getting an ebook, he won't mind. Don't forget girls may have more need for ebooks when in school whereas guys just need to upgrade to compete with contemporaries and most of the materials he needs when in and out of school are in this e-format, so...

E wetin? Wetin be eBook? Dat one na hard currency? Can eBook buy BB? Can eBook buy Indian hair? Na eMoney Naija girls like. Easy money. Finis. I beg biko Chinedum, ping me ya pin number.

Orikinla: E wetin? Wetin be eBook? Dat one na hard currency? Can eBook buy BB? Can eBook buy Indian hair? Na eMoney Naija girls like. Easy money. Finis. I beg biko Chinedum, ping me ya pin number.

The one dat annoys me most is all dis poor hungry gals who don't even worth up to 100 thousand naira but won't allow u hear word.

this is such a chavaunistic thread...
Hia!

Missy_B: When dem neffa buy brazillian hair and blackberry? Biko, please!

thank u, atlist comin frm a Nigeria girl. Do they knw what is calld E-Book

Just to help the OP. The OP ios only trying to do a feasibility studies and it seem a lot of people got this wrong andf start attacking ladies instead.

The OP should have posted this in the business section and he would have got more relevant and informed response and opinions from people who have experience.

However, to help him out.....

Its easier to sell books to ladies/women/wives than to sell to men. If you have a genuine product (e-book) that solves a problem, they'll buy it from you.

Truth is...what you are selling is not the E- book. Its the solution to a problem.

There are loads of free ebooks online. Your own must be able to have what those free ebooks don't have.

Also, you need to have a rock solid marketing. Using a product launch system can help you sell loads.

So there you go, if you need more information, simply ask and I'll try and respond on this thread.

Yes...people buy books and ladies/women buy it more. It takes a producing mind to figure it out...not someone who goes about all thread trying to post an answer to every single question even without knowing what they are talking about.

Thanks so much for this as I also said something similar to this in the 1st page.

Ladies buy ebooks most which implies that they know what EBOOKS are the most.

Final and let this thread be closed up.

Egba girl: Is there supposed to be a big deal about buying e-books? I dont get it Whats so cool about buying e-books?

This Iƨ a typical yoruba girl mstcheww what Iƨ cool abt buying e books rubish u

@ Poster,

What is so special about buying an ebook? Some people buy books but don't have the time to read them. I read ebooks,but I don't buy them. Why buy, when I can download them for free?

anderson1994:

Excuse me, whats typical about what I said? Im not the only one thinking like that. What's the big deal about e-books?!! smh. Im done.

Nigerian girls are disappointingly shallow.

Tanx all for d diffrent comments, bt still is of the obvious truth dat rarely do gurls buy ebooks even if they do, is of every possibility dat they got dat for free, bt dt aside. The point is most gurls are not moved to the digitized world of acquiring gud infomation even wen is free they hardly go for it. Though, is quite ok wit does of u gurls who said u download ur ebooks for free but truly dats not impressive wen looking @ d luxury stuffs u gurls cud spend a futune for. Well i'l also like to conclude dis for now & is goin out to some of u gurls who responded & takin it personal dt dis is not sexism

Look at him giving vote of thanks. Hehe. Like our responses didn't help shape this into an actual thread. You were confused at the beginning but still wanted attention, and so you included the nigerian girls in your title. I would believe different, if you hadn't modified your very first post. It's all good though.

Egba girl:
