Dear Ms. Nomita Sony,
Thanks for your post.
As far as I understand e-books are no different from Printed Books (technically speaking, Hard Copy versions). As such, you can procure through the same process EXCEPT, printed books are generally ordered to & supplied through local vendors while for E- books, in most cases, you have to contact with the publishers or their representatives for copyright purpose generally.
While you select the titles of Reference books in e-format, you may simply contact the local representatives of the publishers who generally may ask for your static IP so that they can encrypt it along with (sometimes) tentative number of viewers/users for price determination. You can also purchase through online book stores for the Kindle editions as well. They are certainly cheaper than the printed versions.
There are several clustered e-reference books from different publishers while your choice will be limited to their products only.
Hope I could explain your query.
Sincerely,
Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta
