Strange since the ancients wrote books on papyrus.
A scroll (The papyrus, not the ebook). Technically rkomar is correct, it only becomes a book when bound together.

However, language changes so words tend to mean whatever the majority think they mean. Nobody now would use the word "nice" to mean "simple" and "awful" no longer means "worthy of awe".

Could have called them eNovels, would have saved arguments.
