Though Ebola isn't sent through the air so you can breathe it in. One can be infected through spittle (saliva that is sprayed upon you during a cough or sneeze). You can also get it by cleaning up spittle or vomit. You could also get it by touching a plate or glass or utensil of someone who had Ebola touched, you might also get it touching a blanket an Ebola patient laid upon sweating. You might also get it touching a car interior that an Ebola sufferer sweated or threw up on or who because of agitation spittle flew around in this car(like the American reporter who thinks he contracted it this way. You might also get it by touching any article of clothing or literally anything an Ebola sufferer touches with his bare hands or brushes against for any reason with any part of his body including a toilet, sink, or any door or piece of furniture or even a hand railing leading up to an apartment if it hasn't been sterilized with Clorine water at a sufficient strength or some other disinfectant that will kill Ebola.
You might also get Ebola by touching any part of a body of a person that has died from Ebola (which is the main way it is presently spreading in West Africa now.)
Though it isn't airborne (at least no mutation of it we know of has done this yet) it is a very unusual virus in the way it spreads in that even though the patient has died or clothing that was sweated in was removed from a patient or bedding or anything this patient touched with any part of their body during an infectious state could transmit the disease potentially.
Also, anyone who survives this disease without using any vaccines or experimental medicines has antibodies in their blood and their blood ( a little of it can be turned into a medicine to help others with Ebola live through it too.).
