Of course, the lines blur between an ebook and a website, and the definition of each and difference between them is a personal matter. Some say a website can be called an 'ebook' if the content offers a linear, story-like experience for the reader. Others argue that an 'ebook' must be available to read offline. Ultimately these arguments are meaningless, since the notion of 'the electronic book' is really only an analogy for digital content, which is actually quite different from printed matter. @Steve: Yes, I think ‘website ebooks’ are a good option for many kinds of content.

That is precisely what I have produced, a website housing a Trilogy Book. Coupled with artwork and music, it will be interesting to see if ebook websites are also a thing of the future. Read all of The Centre Vale Trilogy at www.thecentrevale.com and let me know your thoughts. Happy reading, Steve Meakin.
