A protection of the borrowed book is provided against to any incompatible conditional. Thus, a substructure which users can access the library via tablet pc and mobile phone is prepared. Within scope of this study, the current e-book formats are investigated in detail and conclusion, a new e-book format with significant advantages is proposed to current formats to use in digital libraries.
