If you capitalize the first letter, just as you would with any other word, your sentence should have been written thus:




I have learned that only names are capitalized... And an e-book isn't a name, but an object. True, in some languages objects are capitalized (such as French and German) but English isn't one of those.
You don't read very carefully or sympathetically, do you? The OP refers to capitalizing a word when starting a sentence. Please re-read my remarks in that context. Think about it a little (before putting fingers to keyboard); then decide if your riposte makes sense.
