eBooks, explained
Electronic books (eBooks) are digitally published books that are read on computers, phones, tablets, or dedicated eBook readers. eBooks have some advantages over traditional print books, including access from anywhere with an internet connection, search functions inside the book, hyperlinked content, and the ability to print or email pages and chapters.
