Yes. You can use an ebook to compile and present your achievements in an O-1 visa petition, as long as the content is clear, accurate, and backed by concrete evidence. It is a creative and organized way to provide context for your supporting materials.
For it to carry weight, include verifiable materials such as articles from specialized publications, certificates, awards, testimonials, and other documents that demonstrate your extraordinary ability. The format helps with organization, but what sustains the case is the evidence behind each achievement.
USCIS values the consistency and authenticity of documents. For this reason, the ebook should be integrated into a comprehensive set of evidence rather than replacing it. Every claim needs to be well documented and, whenever possible, confirmed by reliable external sources.
Since requirements can vary, it is worth checking the latest guidance and reviewing how your dossier is assembled with a specialist before filing.
