An e-book is a revolutionary way to publish and distribute ideas via a medium that is more accessible to both consumers and potential authors. They are the electronic equivalent to regular hardback or paperback books. A simple definition of an e-book is an electronic file that contains literature and accompanying graphics e-books are typically downloaded online in a password protected environment.
What a brick and mortar store is to traditional books, online e-commerce is to e-book distribution. The method of propagating e-book material is by paid file transfers and then viewed with an applicable e-book reader software program. You will notice that just as a typical book have cover art, so too do e-books. Many e-books are set up to have a similar look and presentation to traditional books. The popularity of e-books extends beyond portability. In most cases, consumers spend a lot less for the e-book purchases than a traditional book. This is because you are not paying to have the book shipped to you and you do not have to pay expenses associated with actually printing the book.
In essence this is a win/win for both the author and the consumer. The product arrives when you want it, does not typically require sales tax and can be stored for future reading in a space saving electronic file.
