So an e-book is the same as a book, except in digital format. E-books still have &#8220;pages&#8221; which we &#8220;turn&#8221; (with a flick or our finger or if you are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I came across this sign when I was in India recently and I just HAD to take a picture of it. 

Click on the picture for a larger version
