E-books, also referred as Electronic books are digital publication, in other words e-books are some sort of digital book which contains text, images, graphs etc. like normal book but can be read only via a computer or other similar electronic devices. The Oxford Dictionary of English defines the e-book as “an electronic version of a printed book”, but it’s not necessary to always have printed version of e-book. To read a e-book on computers or mobile devices, you need a e-book reader which mostly is a PDF reader ( most of the e-books come into PDF format). Over 3 million of e-books are available as at the end of the year 2010, E-book websites can include the ability to translate books into many different languages, making the works available to speakers of languages not possible easily by printed translations.

An e-book can be purchased/borrowed, downloaded, and used immediately unlike printed books which you need to buy or borrow from the library first. Despite being popular e-books have their limitations too, you can not find every printed book as e-book, once the e-book corrupted you can’t gain access to its content means printed publication has more life than e-book.
