“An e-book is a digital object with textual and/or other content, which arises as a result of integrating the familiar concept of a book with features that can
be provided in an electronic environment.
E-books, typically have in-use features such as search and cross reference functions, hypertext links,
bookmarks, annotations, highlights, multimedia objects and interactive tools.”
Magda Vassiliou and Jennifer Rowley
Vassiliou, Magda and Rowley, Jennifer. (2008). Progressing the definition of “e-book”. Library Hi Tech,26(3), 355-368. Doi:10:1108/07378830810903292
eBook
A performance measure used to evaluate the efficiency of an investment or to compare the efficiency of a number of different
investments. To calculate ROI, the benefit (return) of an investment is divided by the cost of the investment; the result is expressed as a
percentage or a ratio.Investopedia
Return on Investmenthttp://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/returnoninvestment.asp
The profit from an activity for a particular period compared with
the amount invested in it
Cambridge Dictionaries Online
Return on Investment
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/business-english/return-on-investment
Keep in mind that the calculation for return on investment and, therefore the definition, can be modified to suit the situation -it all depends on
what you include as returns and costs. The definition of the term in the broadest sense just
attempts to measure the profitability of an investment and, as such, there is no one "right"
calculation.

Many people mistakenly think a new technology cancels out an old one.
Judith Martin
Not Necessarily So……
en.akihabaranews.com
William Powers“Do School Libraries Need Books?”,(2010)
“The idea that books are outdated is based on a common misconception: the
belief that new technologies automatically render existing ones
obsolete, as the automobile did with the buggy whip. However, this isn’t always the case. Old technologies often handily
survive the introduction of new ones, and sometimes become useful in
entirely different ways.”
Thank you
