"An e-book is an "electronic book".
These books are called "electronic"
because they are files that you access
on your computer. Like a normal paper
book they have cover art, an author,
editor, illustrator, publisher and story.
E-books are available in any genre, any
length, and many formats."

immediately and because I live a fifteen-

thirty minutes from the nearest bookstore, I
ordered it on my Kindle." - Francine Prose,
