Gradually, as the concept of e-reading caught on, many e-book formats evolved. Some had the backing of major software companies whereas others like the adobe`s PDF format were encouraged by independent people.

But, with e-books having gained tremendous popularity, a consensus is emerging and exclusive hardware for e-books are being developed.
