The main difference between an e-book and a hard copy book is that an e-book is typically digital, meaning it can be read on any device with an internet connection, such as smartphones or tablets. A hardcopy book, on the other hand, will require you to purchase a physical copy of the book in order to read it. E-books are often more affordable than hard copies and can also provide access to additional content such as audio recordings, video clips, and interactive elements.
