All this while, the use of e-Books is limited to college students. Using e-Books as text books in the classroom at schools is a new paradigm especially in developing countries. As with all books, there are various types of e-Books available to suit students’ knowledge, characteristics, abilities, and interests. The paper provides some insight on what an e-Books is, and its advantages, limitations, strategies and framework of using it as a text book in classrooms.
