A novel is a literary work. The preservation method depends on the genre and format of the novel. The following are some common preservation methods: 1. E-book: convert a novel into an e-book format such as PDF-E or EPUB and save it in an e-book reader on a computer or mobile device. 2. Paper book: Print out the novel and store it in a paper book. This method was suitable for preserving classics or novels and could be easily carried and read. 3. Digitize: Digitize novels, such as downloading or uploading them to cloud storage through online reading platforms. This method was suitable for preserving newer novels and could be easily shared and disseminated. 4. Databank: Save the novel in a database for online reading or searching. This method was suitable for saving long or popular novels and could be easily managed. No matter which method of preservation was chosen, appropriate measures should be taken to protect the copyright of the novel from being violated.
