Isn't eBook incorrect? You do not capitalize in the middle of a word, except for proper nouns.

Regardless is the word is eBook, ebook, or e-book, according to the Oxford Dictionary, whenever you say that word using the pronunciation below, you are speaking US English.
Pronunciation: /ˈēˌbo͝ok/ The pronunciation for British and World English is not the same. Pronunciation: /ˈiːbʊk/ |
