How will you use your eBook? Will you be viewing it only on your iPad or possibly on your computer and your Android Phone? Determine where you will view your eBook and use the links below to get started.
• Which eBook file format is best for me?
PDF ebook (part numbers that end in -PD)
- Displays best on screens 10" or larger (iPads, laptops, desktop computers).
- The exact formatting and layout design of the print book is maintained (text, images, margins, page breaks, etc.).
- Not recommended for smaller screens (phones) as you will need to zoom in and pan around the page to read.
Epub ebook (part numbers that end in -EB)
- Easily viewed on both small screens (phones, e-readers) and large screens (iPads, computers).
- The text, pictures, and pages will adapt to fit the screen size of the device, so zooming will not be necessary to read.
- Text size can be adjusted in ebook reader app.
