Records are entered in the format for visual materials (VM).

The record must have these fixed field element values:

Rec_Type: r (three-dimensional object)
Bib_Lvl: m (issued as a single item)
Type: r (three-dimensional object)

The General Material Designation (GMD) for e-Book readers in CCS is [realia (electronic equipment)]
