“An e-book is a digital object with textual and/or
other content, which arises as a result of integrating
the familiar concept of a book with features that can
be provided in an electronic environment.
E-books, typically have in-use features such as
search and cross reference functions, hypertext
links, bookmarks, annotations, highlights,
multimedia objects and interactive tools.”

“The idea that books are outdated is
based on a common misconception: the
belief that new technologies automatically
render existing ones obsolete, as the
automobile did with the buggy whip.
However, this isn’t always the case. Old
technologies often handily survive the
introduction of new ones, and sometimes
become useful in entirely different ways.”
William Powers
