各种形式的电子书现在都是图书馆藏书的核心要素，但即使它们成为出版界和图书馆馆藏的一个更大部分，用户也面临着他们没有预料到的新现实。许多人无法以创作者设想的方式处理电子书。有许多与技术、可读性、获取、借用以及对特殊功能的了解程度有关的问题。随着电子书的发展，一个微妙的问题变得越来越明显，即用户对电子书的假设和看法。作者讨论了这些问题的基础上，各种研究和她的经验与学生，无论是在她的学分课程，并在普通图书馆，并建议我们重新思考电子书的基本概念。
E-books, in all their forms, are now a core element of library collections, but even as they become a larger part of the publishing world and library holdings, users face new realities that they did not expect. Many are unable to deal with e-books in the way creators envision. There are issues of many kinds related to technology, readability, access, borrowing, and the level of knowledge about special features. Undergirding these is a subtle issue that is becoming more obvious as e-books evolve, namely, user assumptions and perceptions about e-books. The author discusses these issues based on various studies and on her experience with students, both in her credit courses and in the general library, and proposes that we rethink the fundamental concept of an e-book.
