You might have purchased or downloaded lots of e-books and wanted to print it out simply because you prefer to read from a paper book rather than an e-book. Printing of e-books is easy,open up your pdf reader and hit print. your printer will start printing. and now your have a 400 pages with 400 single sided page book. You realized that the book is bulky and heavy,you will hardly read it.

You should have printed it both side. The next time you print an e-book,open up the pdf reader as usual,before you hit the print button,you select print both side option,now you have a 400 pages with 200 double sided page book. It is much lighter,then you realized that the page number is always hidden in the middle of the book. Make it hard to find a page.

If you have noticed,most of the books will have the odd page number printed on the right side of the page and the even page number printed on the left side of the page. this is to ease of searching for a page. Of course some of the books will have the pages printed in the center of the page,here you will not have the above problem. So how can you make sure that the page number is printed on the correct side? Just remember this. Always start printing with the odd page number,and you will not get it wrong.

If page number position is not important to you,perhaps what is important to you is the weight.

Then you can have several options here

1. Print on a smaller size paper. PDF allows you to print a page into the paper size that you choose. Printing an ebook in B5 size will be much lighter to carry then a full size A4 book,yet the size of the word will not be too small for reading.. you can try that.

2. Choose the option of 2up or 4up,you will have 2 pages or 4 pages printed on the same side. This will greatly reduce the paper used but at the same time the text maybe too small for reading. So you might wan to test print a few pages before you go for the entire book.

3. Print and bind section by section. You may choose to split the printing into few sections and bind it separately,so you don’t have to carry the entire book every time you need it.

I hope the above information does help in your future ebook printing. Do leave us comments if you have further ideas.
