An e-book, short for electronic book, is a digital version of a traditional printed book. It consists of text, images, or both, formatted for reading on electronic devices like computers, tablets, smartphones, and dedicated e-readers. E-books can be purchased online and downloaded, allowing you to carry a whole library's worth of content in your pocket.
While some e-books are simply digital versions of existing print books, others are created specifically for the electronic format. These may include interactive elements, multimedia content like audio or video clips, and features that take advantage of the digital platform.
