Abstract: The market for e-books has been established during the past several
years. Many e-book readers are commercially available, and millions of e-book
titles are available for purchase or free download. E-paper technology has
matured enough to be used as the screen for dedicated e-book readers which make
reading possible with the familiar feel of reading printed books. In this
paper, we provide a comprehensive review of the status of the e-book, including
the architecture and features of e-book readers, market adoption and e-book
industry ecosystem.
Keywords: E-book, e-paper technology, e-book reader, e-book industry ecosystem
