  20. What is an e-book? “Any piece of electronic text regardless of size or composition (a digital object), but excluding journal publications, made available electronically or optically for any device (handheld or desk-bound) that includes a screen.” Armstrong, Edwards & Lonsdale, 2002 “The result of integrating … the familiar concept of a book, with features that can be provided within an electronic environment … intended as an interactive document that can be composed and read on a computer.” Landoni, 2003
