I know i know, don't ask warrior forum for legal advice but this is a yes or no question. Is it ok to use company names like ebay or youtube in my ebook? Thanks

Yes, you can. And I would say that it would attract more potential buyers for e-book.

  That doesn't make sense. You need to buy the eBook to see the company names.

you should be able to use it so long as you are not claiming ownership or using it for direct monetary gain. But i aint a lawyer so dont take my word as gospel

Yes, you can use it in your book as long as you're just referring to it within the book itself. If you're talking about using a company name in the title, that might be different.

  True...watch out for the title. Many trade marks definitively exclude use on titles.

I don't see any problem in referring to big brands in your book as long as you are not claiming the ownership of them.
