History

An **electronic page** is a term to encompass the grouping of content between basic breaking points in [|presentations] or [|documents] that originate or remain as visual [|electronic documents]. This is a [|software] [|file] and [|recording format] term in contrast to [|electronic paper], a hardware [|display technology]. Electronic pages may be a standard sized based on the document settings of a [|word processor] file, [|desktop publishing] application file, or [|presentation software] file. Electronic pages may also be dynamic in size or content such as in the case of [|HTML pages]. When [|end user] [|interactivity] is part of the user [|experience design] of an electronic page, it is better known as a [|graphical user interface] (GUI). The number and size of electronic pages in a document are limited by the amount of [|computer data storage], not by the [|display devices] or amount of paper.

An E-book, as defined by the Oxford Dictionary of English, is "an electronic version of a printed book which can be read on a personal computer or hand-held device designed specifically for this purpose".[1] E-books are usually read on dedicated hardware devices known as //e-Readers// or //e-book devices//. Personal computers and some cell phones can also be used to read e-books.
