Business eBooks

An eBook is a full electronic book or digital file containing a body of text and images suitable for distributing electronically and displaying on-screen in a manner similar to a printed book.

Ebooks can be created by converting a printer’s source files to formats optimized for easy downloading and on-screen reading, or they can be drawn from a database or a set of text files that were not created solely for print.
