Thank you so much for your replies and reassurance!

I did some research on the internet and some people stated that malware in an ebook was possible, because it could contain javascript. But there seemed to be no actual examples of this having occured.

I've become a lot more security conscious recently, having read all sorts of "horror stories" on the internet of audacious scams and breaches. This is generally a good thing, but it does make me somewhat paranoid at times.

I must have had a premature senior moment with the ebook I downloaded and assumed the worst.
