For Keepa Tuladhar, an avid book reader and a ‘ bookstagrammer ’, e-books were a godsend during her secondary and high school days. The vast range of accessible, portable—and most importantly—free e-books under the common license meant that she had almost an endless supply of books to satisfy her literary hunger. However, it has been years since she last read an e-book.
