What is an e-book?

E-book readers are wireless handheld devices capable of downloading an electronic version of a book and making it available for a customer to read anywhere without a physical copy of the book. Formatting physical books into e-books gives you as the author another avenue to connect with readers and give them your book in the format they want. Companies like Barnes & Noble, Amazon and Apple® have the largest e-book stores in the nation providing readers with access to hundreds of thousands of books.
