E-book simply means electronic book. In the case of A Summer Odyssey, the E-book is an electronic file which you can purchase on this website and then download, typically within minutes, to read on your laptop or desktop computer. It is the complete book, starting with the front and back covers, and as you scroll down you will find the overview map of the route, then each of the 256 pages of the book, complete with more than 100 color photos to accompany the text. It's the whole story of Jim and Simon's hike, in digital form.

Good call - your choice to buy the E-book saves a tree and helps to preserve planet Earth.
