WHAT IS AN ELECTRONIC BOOK?
According to Wikipedia “An e-book (short for electronic book, or E-Book), also known as a digital book, is an e-text that forms the digital media equivalent of a conventional printed book, sometimes restricted with a digital rights management system.
An E-book, as defined by the Oxford Dictionary of English, is "an electronic version of a printed book which can be read on a personal computer or hand-held device designed specifically for this purpose".
