eBook
eBook can refer to a few separate technology terms. In digital file format terms, ebooks are simply electronic books viewed on a computer or handheld reading device. There are a variety of separate file formats that are dubbed ebooks, most popular among them Adobe's PDF format. Ebooks differ from plain text documents in that the contents cannot be easily modified, and are typically protected from further copy by use of digital rights management, although not always the case.
