An Online Book may be confused with online books or e-book. The onset of e-commerce as ushered in by the internet was more of a happy circumstance than an adversity. It is not surprising to find people who may express or demonstrate dissatisfaction or disgust with the internet, as it is very normal for human beings to "resist" change and the intra and inter personal uncertainty that ensues.
Online books may mean a number of things
a) physical or printed books or their
b) digital or e-book forms.
The choice of how people collect or own books is a personal thing. Most book lovers before the advent of computers and the internet attach sentimentality on the printed book and prefer them over the more modern digital form preferred by the fast-paced-life living modern-day teenage kid and even older "tekkies".
The primitive beginnings and progenitors of what we now know as the book were of leaves, tree barks, wood blocks, bamboo slats, wax and metal tablets. It evolved across many centuries into the first bound volume or codex, where the Latin poet, Marcus Valerius Martialis, praised its compactness in his Apophoreta CLXXXIV. Despite Martial's praises, the codex did not overtake the scroll (made of papyrus or parchment in its absence) in terms of popular use as a writing material and method of preserving documents and writings.
