What are ebooks?

An electronic book (variously, e-book, ebook, digital book) is a book-length publication in digital form, consisting of text, images, or both, and produced on, published through, and readable on computers or other electronic devices (Wikipedia)

Here are some formats that are typical for ebooks:

epub: short for Electronic Publication, the free and open-ebook standard that can optionally contain DRM (Digital Rights Management)
