1.1 Background Research/ Current State of the Art
Electronic book or eBook is a book publication that is being made available in the
digitalized format, comprising of texts and images in a readable format on flat panel display of
computers and any other electronic device (Salmon 2014). This type of eBook exists without any
printed equivalent and could be read only on the dedicated e-reader device. However, these E-
Book could also be read on a computer device, which characterizes the controllable viewing
screen like desktop computers, smart phones, tablets and laptops. There was a trend of eBook
sales that is moving to the Internet connection, by which the respective readers buy all types of
traditional paper books as well as E-Book on website with the help of e-commerce system.
Readers can increasingly browse through several images of book covers with print books.
The paper books are then delivered to a reader through mails and other deliver services. The
users could easily browse through the titles online and as soon as they select or order the titles,
this eBook could be sent to them either online or the respective user could download the book
(Hess 2014). Several E-Book were being published online in the year of 2012 than that were
distributed in hardcover. The major reasons for the individuals, buying E-Book online, mainly
include low costs, larger selection of title and incremented comfort. E-Book have provided with
numerous important and significant advantages to its users and hence it becomes quite effective
and efficient for resolving complexities such as time management and incurring of extra costs.

to this website is being completed with the help of few entry barriers such as providing login
information. Each and every authenticated user has their own unique login ID and password and
after entering this information, he or she is able to login to the website and get access of the
books (Strouse and Ganea 2017). One of the most significant benefits of this type of library is
that unlike other online book websites, E-Book Library does not incur any cost and is completely
free for the registered users. As the entire E-Book industry is facing major uncertain pricing
standards within the respective market, the free services of E-Book Library are expected to
become extremely popular and significant for all types of users. This particular website has
involved two important inputs, which are screen technology and system technology.
The developed technology is required for the display on electronic screen and so that
every e-reader is able to access his or her book (Ihmeideh 2014). Moreover, E-Book Library will
be enabling advancement to a high level, with the core purpose that it would be gaining higher
popularity in future as well. The architecture or structure of the website is both advanced and
secured. As soon as the registered user logs in with authorized username and password, he or she
gets into the “Home” page. The user would get two broad criteria to sort his or her books, which
are “Search by Book Name” and “Search by Author”. It would reduce the complexity of users’
search to a better level, since even if the user has no idea about the author’s name or books’
name, he or she would be able to search the book just by click and without any complexity.
Moreover, the registered users would also get another option of contacting with the website
managers, if they are facing any issue regarding searching or security of the information
(Colombo, Landoni and Rubegni 2014). The users, even get an idea about the origin of the
website from the “About” section.

section for highest rated books as well as highest rated authors (Velagić 2014). It reduces the
complexities of book searching for e-readers majorly and they are able to sort down their books
easily and promptly. The website provides a user friendly interface and thus all users can access
it, even without having strong technical knowledge.
1.3 Ethical Aspects, Data Protection and Safety of the Website
High security management system is being installed in the website of E-Book
Library. It helps in safeguarding every available e-book that is not yet accessed by any user. In
spite of the fact that this safeguarding system in installed in the website, they have still not
involved any cost or expense from the user (Shamir and Korat 2015). Another significant ethical
aspect of this website is that the confidential information of its users are highly safe and secured
and under no circumstance, this information is being hacked. Furthermore, the electronic pages
on the screen are extremely suitable for eyes of users and could even be adjusted to any preferred
font size. For ensuring safety and security in the website, software is being upgraded periodically
and every login page is being encrypted properly.
The developers of E-Book Library has even kept options for data backups, in case there is
any type of data related issue. They have also enforced a stronger password policy and have
hired a security expert for their website. This particular security expert is solely responsible for
regularly scanning the website for vulnerabilities with the help of a secured host (Núñez-Valdez
et al. 2015). The encryption technique, used in this website is SSL encryption and it enables

2. Literature Review
Introduction
As discussed by Guides (2018), the incorporation of the e-book facility has benefited
both the researchers as well as the students. The paper successfully acknowledged the usefulness

paper was very much helpful to understand that the skill of the readers of eBooks are very much
as compared with the online research purposes.
EBooks vs. Libraries
According to Guides (2017), libraries offers wide range of data sources to both the
researchers as well as the students. The paper highlighted that advantages of deploying the e-
book system in a detailed manner. The paper suggested that price of the physical books can be
huge source of concern for the readers which can be successfully addressed using the e-book
system. The paper also suggested that each versions of an article can be accessed in a faster
manner using the eBooks system. The paper also focused on the disabilities of the physical data
source offered by the libraries. The subscription difficulties of the online articles was highlighted
by the paper in terms of the portability issues of the services provided by the online libraries. The
paper highlighted that availability of article can be managed in an organized manner from the
admin panel of the eBooks system which is not possible for the online libraries. Acceptability of
the e-book system is more as compared with the online articles as per the detailed discussions of
this paper.
However as deliberated by Gibbs and Gretzel (2015), there are few limitations associated
with E-books in terms of the acceptability of the global payment gateways. The paper was very

the accessibility of the E-books are much better than the physical books which are available in
the local libraries (Hing et al. 2015). The instant access is one of the main reasons behind the
enhanced use of the online E-book system as compared with the physical books. The paper
suggested that most of the physical books are very much heavy and it is very much difficult to
carry these heavy books from one place to another due to its weight, the paper also suggested
that the negligible weight in terms of eBooks are very much useful for the readers as it can be
easily transferred from one place to another. Thus, it can be said that the portability of the online
E-Book platform.

application is very much user friendly for the consumers. The paper stated that each of these
online applications uses the pdf format to provide their services to the clients (Hunt 2019). There
are compatibility issues and scalability issues associated with most of the online data libraries.
Settings of the users of the E-book system can be set by the admin from the backend of the
system. Thus, the paper was very much helpful to understand that the operational format of the
E-book systems can be very much beneficial for the readers.
Online E-Book website

time the paper also highlighted that there are many advantages associated with the deployment of
E-Book systems. There are very negligible portability issues associated with the E-book systems
which are increasingly being used in the educational institutions (Juarez et al. 2016). The paper
highlighted that foreign languages can be learnt in an organized manner using the E-book
systems. The other advantage of using E-book systems is the availability of the peer previewed
journals in a secured manner as discussed in this paper. There are very less discretions associated
with the increasing use of the E-book system as per the discussions of this paper. The discussions
indicated that the use of the E-book systems can be very much beneficial as compared with the
other online book services. The paper is very much significant in order to improve the
