This seems to use the term "e-text" too broadly and too narrowly at the same time. It restricts the term to ASCII text files, though it is commonly used for books in other formats (especially open formats like HTML; "html etext" gets 10,400 Google hits), and it seems at one point to sloppily use the term "etext" to refer to any ASCII text file no matter its content. Can someone cite sources that use the term in this vast sense? --Jim Henry | Talk 00:22, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

Concur, in particular the description of html and programs being etexts is just silly. They are text files.
