Ebooks are any type of book that is in electronic format, such as online books that are available for download and books that are exclusively written for online content and distribution.
Ebooks is short for electronic books. Many publishers simultaneously produce books in both printed and electronic formats. The most common format for ebooks is Adobe PDF and most ebooks are read on computers, but Sony and Amazon (Kindle) have developed hand-held ebook readers as well. Many on-demand printers have the capability to turn a book ready for print into an ebook. One of the advantages of ebooks over printed books is that text can be hyperlinked to resources outside or inside the book and a reader can immediately get access to additional information.

Although one could make the argument that an ebook costs much less to produce so the price should be less, the value of a book is really in the information in the book, not the paper it is printed on. Therefore, the industry generally prices ebooks at the same price as the printed book, unless they are sold together for a package price.
