Literary download

Answer:

EBOOK

Hint:

Think of a digital version of a book you might read on a tablet or dedicated device like a Kindle. It starts with the same letter as "electronic."

Explanation:

"Literary download" hints at a book you get digitally instead of in print. The word "download" suggests it’s an electronic file, and "literary" points to reading material. Combining those ideas gives you "EBOOK," short for electronic book—a common way to read on devices like tablets or e-readers.
