What are
E-Books?
E-Books stands for electronic books. The e-book is
a computer file. You can read it on a PC or on a special reader. |

Why should I use an e-book rather than a paperback?
You can fit a couple of thousand e-Books on a modern laptop. Imagine taking
that number of paperbacks in your briefcase. You can download and start
reading an e-book in a few minutes.
An e-book allows you to find a reference instantly and to copy small pieces
of text to paste into other documents.

What equipment do I need to read an e-book?
If you have a modern PC this will allow you to read all e-book formats. You
will need to
download some software to allow you to do
this. |
