The only time I've seen that misspelling is by Adobe. It reminds me of Red Lobster, whose logo shows a lobster with only four pairs of legs instead of five.

The accepted spelling is e-book, and just like what happened with email, the common usage of ebook will become the accepted spelling in a matter of years.
