An e-book (short for electronic book) is a digital version of a traditional print book that can be read on a computer, e-reader, or other electronic devices. E-books are often distributed as PDFs or EPUB files, and they can be read using specialized software or a compatible device. Many e-books are available for purchase and download online, and they can also be borrowed from libraries in some cases. E-books have several advantages over print books, including the ability to store and carry a large number of books in a single device, the option to adjust text size and formatting, and the ability to search for specific words or phrases
