What is an eBook?

Welcome to the new world. Here is an excerpt I found on Wikipedia:

"An electronic book (also e-book, ebook, digital book) is a text- and image-based publication in digital form produced on, published by, and readable on computers or other digital devices." [1] Sometimes the equivalent of a conventional printed book, e-books can also be born digital. The Oxford Dictionary of English defines the e-book as "an electronic version of a printed book,"[2] but e-books can and do exist without any print equivalent. E-books are usually read on dedicated hardware devices known as e-Readers or e-book devices. Personal computers and some cell phones can also be used to read e-books."

I think that sums it up pretty well...

• Where can I get an eBook reader?
• How can I find an eBook on Fishpond?
• I can't download my eBook... Help!
