gollark: "E-books" contain text and images similarly to a normal book, but as digital information rather than paper.
gollark: Of course, in the interweb era™ "book" has become somewhat generalized, and often refers to the content itself, as this can be shipped as an "ebook".

gollark: Books:- mostly used to refer to objects of bound paper with covers (covers can be various materials, often card/harder paper)- paper inside the book ("pages") typically contains information about a topic encoded as patterns of ink on them- topics can include someone's notes on a subject, or something intended for wider distribution/other people such as a story/set of stories ("fiction") which did not really occur, or true information ("non-fiction")- cover generally contains art related to the contents, as well as what the book is named ("title") and who wrote it ("author")- the back will often contain a "blurb" describing the contents somewhat, as well as potentially reviews by others
gollark: The inevitability of book is inevitably inevitable.
