E-TEXTS

 

An e-text is, generally, any text-based information that is available in a digitally encoded human-readable format and read by electronic means, but more specifically it refers to files in the ASCII character encoding.

E-text has the broad meaning of something electronic that represents words, a binary (or digital) version of a published work of text. Indeed, there are ASCII textbooks available. These are now referred to as, and the term is often used synonymously, an ebook.

The term e-text is used for the more limited case of data in ASCII text format, while the more general e-book can be in a specialized (and, at times, proprietary) file format. An ebook is commonly bundled by a publisher for distribution (as an ebook, an ezine, or an internet newspaper), whereas e-text is distributed in ASCII (or plain text). Metadata relating to the text is sometimes included with e-text (though it appears more frequently with ebooks).

 

 Project Gutenberg and other various digital libraries are using e-text.
