yes, presuming you said it to a parisian who knows what ebooks are.
(you don't even know what "niche" means, over there. they are only just barely starting to enter general consciousness.)
(the almost extra syllable at the end : in certain regions of france, particularly the south, people add extra vowel sounds and pronounce the normally silent final e of many words a little bit. i imagine you heard some voices with a southern accent, i didn't listen to all of them.)
