24. Croft and Davis, "E-Books Revisited." The authors consulted the 2007 and 2008 ebrary e-book surveys because of their frequent mention in the e-book literature, despite the fact that the surveys were self-published by ebrary and nonscholarly in nature; the results of those surveys echo results from academic research on e-books.
