Abstract:
‘Electronic book’, a term coined by Van Dam of Brown University during the 1960s, is very popular
today across the globe. The e-publishing phenomenon that began in the 1960s paved the way for the
development of electronic versions of printed books which is known as e-Books. E-Book is nothing
but a book in electronic form. We can download thousands of free e-Books from the Internet and
nowadays, most of the world renowned Science, Technology and Medicine (STM) publishers provide
perpetual access to the e-Books published by them under one time subscription basis.
