In response to the ever growing needs of the market and thanks to the development of technology, an immaterial form of a book called an e-book appears. Starting from the knowledge that the electronic form of the book is becoming more and more acceptable, the theoretical background of the e-book was investigated through the thesis, the most common formats were described, the tools for creating e-books were listed, and furthermore, in the practical part of the work, a publication was created with an emphasis on process of preparation of e-book using the EPUB format. The research part of the work is based on the analysis of the results of the survey questionnaire, in which the familiarity of the respondents with the presented terminology is checked, with the aim of getting insight into the experiences and past habits of using the same, and ultimately their thoughts and point of view on such a form. The opinions of users differ, and the biggest reason for this is the persistent mistrust of new technologies and the key one, the habit of reading books in the traditional way established in early childhood and which follows us throughout our lives, which makes the task of approaching e-books extremely challenging.
