What are eBooks?

eBooks are simply electronic copies of your favorite titles.  You can download eBooks and read them immediately so there is no waiting for shipment and in most cases, they are cheaper than their 'hard copy' counterparts. eBooks also offer the convenience of size and portability, you can store your own personal library of eBooks on your PC, Laptop or hand held device.

In order to read an eBook, you will require a small piece of free software known as an eBook Reader. eBooks come in different formats and each format has it's own Reader software. The format you select will depend upon your Operating System and whether you would like to read your eBooks on a hand held device or on your desktop. For advice on selecting the appropriate Reader, check our Reader Comparison Table.

eBooks have security settings which may prevent or limit printing and copying, as well as specifying how many different devices you can download the eBook to. You can view the security settings for each title by clicking the "Buy eBook" link on the eBook Details page. ^top
