The electronic book (ebook) was born in 1971, as eText #1 from Project
Gutenberg, a visionary project created by Michael Hart to freely
disseminate electronic versions of literary works. 40 years later,
ebooks are part of our lives. We read them on our computers, PDAs,
mobile phones, smartphones, and ebook readers. [Please forgive my
mistakes in English, if any. My mother tongue is French.]
