Abstract

 The development of the e-book, in recent years, has initiated numerous debates and analysis, emphasizing reading habits as well as the effects of the mass digitalization, partially including coronavirus pandemic this last year. E – books are available in various formats, and they include various media. The highest domination is achieved in the USA, whereas in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the use of e-books is still of insufficient scale. This paper points out the research of the academic use of e-books in comparison to the printed ones and its eventual domination. Precisely, higher education libraries have still been indecisive to enrich its library fund with ebooks considering copyrights and fulfilling the users needs. Changes have been evident in relation to publishing electronic reference books, including the support of open access publications. Considering education as computer-based, specially this last year from the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, the reserach has been conducted aiming to gain clearer perception of teh academic use of e-books at the University of Travnik.
