Digital e-readers or tablets on top of print book.  

 

 

 

 

Ebook stands for electronic book.  It's just like a print book, but you read it online instead. You can read it, search through it, and save, print, or email yourself a page or multiple pages. You usually read BC's ebooks on a desktop computer, laptop, tablet or phone.  Check with your professors first, but they should accept an ebook as one of your book/print resources.
