Consider the following code: 
class Book:
    def __init__(self, title, author):
        self.title = title
        self.author = author

class EBook(Book):
    def __init__(self, title, author, format_type):
        super().__init__(title, author)
        self.format_type = format_type
What is the primary advantage of using super().__init__(title, author) in the EBook class constructor?
