An ebook, short for electronic book, is a digital version of a printed book that can be read on electronic devices such as e-readers (like Kindle), tablets, smartphones, or computers. Unlike traditional physical books, ebooks are stored in digital formats (such as PDF, EPUB, or MOBI), allowing readers to carry thousands of titles in a single device.

Ebooks have revolutionized the way we read and access information. They are instantly downloadable, often more affordable, and environmentally friendly, as they reduce the need for paper and shipping. With features like adjustable font size, built-in dictionaries, and note-taking options, ebooks offer a more personalized and convenient reading experience.
