How do Danish native speakers normally refer to e-books when talking to other Danish
native speakers? Do they use "e-book" (or other English-based variant), or a Danish word? Thank you. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

...And on a not so related note, what do you call streaming video (a stream)?

Well, when I was searching for Danish e-books, they seemed to come up as "e-bøger" on most websites. Also, on
a related note, audio books are usually called "lydbøger". 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

e-böcker in Swedish, in analogy with e-post. Streaming is most often referred to as streaming, en stream, but the
Swedish word and cognate is ström, or perhaps better, videoström, to stream, att strömma. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

OK, that might explain it as I wasn't finding anything when I searched for "e-boger" (with a normal "o" not "ø"). I'm always a bit wary of using non-English characters on searches etc. :) I also might have been looking in the wrong place. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

what search engine do you use?
with www.google.dk , "e-bøger" is actually suggested when you type in "e-boger" 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Yeah, Google is pretty good at predicting what you're looking for, whether you spell it right or not.
