Definition: E-book A book that has been digitized and is available online. Because e-books usually exist in print and online versions, they are different from websites. The content in e-books has gone through an editorial process that helps to establish and verify its information. Glossary of Research Terms. Southwestern Oregon Community College, July 23 2009 (accessed August 24, 2010).
E-book Capabilities An electronic book is typically delivered over a computer network. E-book capabilities vary by vendor, but most offer hyperlink navigation and keyword searching within the text. Printing and downloading functions are usually available, but are restricted to protect copyrights. Library and Information Technology Glossary. University of North Texas Health Science Center Library. May 12, 2010 (Accessed August 24, 2010)
