This article presents a study of the relationship between e-books and virtual learning environments (VLE) supported by electronic devices connected to the Internet. The objective is to highlight the opportunities and advantages that justify the interest in the use of e-books as part of the investments in education processes in networked learning environments. In order to do so, an exploratory bibliographic research with qualitative bias was performed. As possibilities and advantages of using e-textbooks, we have listed: the adaptation or customization of interactive processes and content according to the individual characteristics of the student; the increased range in time and space for communication and interaction between students and other participants; efficiency and agility in the management of the educational process; and the reduction of personal, financial and environmental costs. However, for that to happen, we depend on meeting the needs of the physical and logical infrastructure, that is, broadband Internet, power grid, furniture and appropriate equipment.Downloads
