e-book or a digital book is a electronic book which can be read on a iLiad, iPad, kindle etc. Among the earliest general e-books were those in the Gutenberg Project, started by Michael S. Hart in 1971. Early e-books were generally written for specialty areas and a limited audience, meant to be read only by small and devoted interest groups.
Many software companies have started making their own e-books or an e-book from a small level author. On the other hand some companies are making devices to read e-books such as iPad and iLiad. On the first day of launch of iPad more than 1000 e-books were added to the iLibrary.
As of 2009[update], new marketing models for e-books were being developed and dedicated reading hardware was produced. E-books have yet to achieve global distribution. e-book is going to be the future for education. May be, by 2020 most of the students in developed countries will be having one of the gadgets used to read e-books.
Apple for their iPad and amazon for their kindle will be having a tough competition in the future for the sales of their gadgets for e-books.
