I love e-books, I wonder how they work.
1_Wizard
I enjoy e-books too! They're basically just a high-tech Word program that you can download and read on an e-reader, desktop, laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.

I did not think of that, are they popular ?
1_Wizard
They are fairly popular! One of the things I love about them is that you can browse books online, then download a book you want in just a few seconds.

That is practical, and who invented the e-book ?
1_Wizard
A guy name Michael Hart invented the e-book way back in the 1970s!

This is older than I thought. Is there just one format of e-book or they are multiple types of e-books ?
1_Wizard
There are different types! Hart founded Project Gutenberg, which presents books as plain text files online. Kindle and Kobo books are much more advanced.
