电子书是人类的人工制品，并带有他们制作的痕迹，因为它们是数字化的，尽管它们带有这些痕迹的方式书目学家还没有彻底解释。电子书的书目考虑是一个双重挑战，因为它不仅必须考虑到不熟悉的文本形式，而且还必须考虑到关于电子书的普遍文化话语，这种话语往往使文本条件本身变得神秘化。本文以加拿大小说《感伤主义者》（Gaspereau出版社，2009年）为例，探讨了这一挑战的双重性，并概述了电子书书目研究的一些原则。
E-books are human artifacts and bear the traces of their making no less for being digital, though they bear those traces in ways bibliographers have yet to explain thoroughly. The bibliographic consideration of e-books is a dual challenge in that it must reckon not only with unfamiliar forms of textuality but also with a pervasive cultural discourse about e-books that tends to mystify the textual condition itself. This article explores the dual nature of that challenge and outlines some principles toward the bibliographical study of e-books, taking the Canadian novel The Sentimentalists (Gaspereau Press, 2009) as a test case.
