electronic articles and the distribution of written-information digitally
through CD-ROMs, DVDs, portable document files (PDF), or online
over the internet or other networks.

is more of a analogue based publishment (ready on the go) whereas
electronic publishing is the opposite which is digital where it is on
screen.
