Ebooks defined
An ebook is a book available in electronic format. It may be a digitized traditional book (i.e., a print book scanned and made available in electronic form) or a born-digital ebook (i.e., one that was created in digital format in the first place). Ebooks can be read online or offline on computers, tablets, or other mobile devices anytime, anywhere!
