Need I go on? I think not.
All those are examples where the word would be capitalised (note all the other capitalised words), or is a proper name (eBooks.com).

Where the word is not capitalised, I would always now use ebook. (My preferred choice of e.book never did catch on, although it's clearly the 'correct' form, as the e is an abbreviation for electronic.)
