You may want to know how Amazon.com differentiates these two should you wish to use their sales platform…
I suspect most of what sells as “Ebooks” on line are just really “Edocuments”… most are NOT book length.
What’s the difference between an e-document and an e-book?
There are two main differences between e-documents and e-books. First, most e-books are longer than e-documents and offer the kind of content you’d expect to find in other books you enjoy: fiction, nonfiction, history, biographies, and so on. e-Documents are generally shorter than e-books and contain up-to-the-minute research information you wouldn’t normally find in a bookstore: an analysis of the telecommunications market in western Europe, for example, or a collection of articles on leadership. Second, almost all of our e-documents can be read using the widely available Adobe Reader (some e-documents are in HTML and can be read straight from your Web browser. When ordering e-books or e-documents, always look carefully at the required software indicated on the page where you purchase the item). Many people already have Adobe Reader installed on their computer. Adobe e-Books can be read in the latest version of Adobe Reader, and Microsoft e-Books require the free Microsoft Reader software.
