E-Books
An electronic book (also e-book, ebook, digital book) is a publication in digital form and readable on e-readers, computers or other digital devices. Forecasts indicate a growing demand for digital content around the world. E-books will become established as a further book format in addition to paperbacks and hardcover. The shift to e-books and digital publishing is challenging the basic models of copyright and contracts that underlie the functioning of book markets.
