What is e-book?
An electronic book (also e-book, ebook, digital book) is a text and image-based publication in digital form produced on, published by, and readable on computers or other digital devices. Sometimes the equivalent of a conventional printed book, e-books can also be born digital. The Oxford Dictionary of English defines the e-book as "an electronic version of a printed book," but e-books can and do exist without any printed equivalent. 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.
The government of Bangladesh is going to launch a website with digital versions of textbooks for primary and secondary students to give them free access to textbooks online.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is expected to launch the website at the PMO tomorrow.
At least 106 textbooks of primary and secondary levels have been converted to e-books, electronic version of textbooks, published by the National Curriculum and Textbook Board (NCTB) and uploaded on www.ebook.gov.bd with the technical assistance of Access to Information (A2I) of Prime Minister's Office (PMO).
Students can log on to the website and flip through the e-books just like the printed ones. Besides, they can also download any page they want.
