E-book (electronic book)
"An ebook is an electronic (or digital) version of a book.
The term is used ambiguously to refer to either an individual work in a digital
format, or a hardware device used to read books in digital format. Some users
deprecate the second meaning in favour of the more precise "ebook device." "
