5 things you should know about E-books
1. E-books have no concept of pages per say
Most of the times the content is created that fit the page or the screen, considering factors such as page layout and much more. The content restructures itself owing to the font size selected by the user or various devices and screens the e-book is read on. Pages do matter but only in specific formats. http://www.bookhungama.com/
