Geography: Books on Geography

A formal definition of E-book would be: "The electronic counterpart of a printed book, which can be viewed on a desktop computer, laptop, smartphone or e-book reader. When traveling, a large number of e-books can be stored in portable units, dramatically eliminating weight and volume compared to paper." (e-book, n.d.).  

In other words, it is a book in digital form.
