Quick Summary
For businesses, depreciation is generally only allowed on tangible assets like machinery, not on intangible assets such as e-books. While e-books are typically expensed, it's crucial to consult a tax professional or your local tax authority for definitive guidance specific to your situation and jurisdiction.

No not at all
