Most of our titles are in PDF (Portable Document Format) from Adobe. This is a cross- platform format which can be read on a PC, Mac or Linux/Unix machines. You just need to get a copy of the free reader from Adobe at www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html . Once downloaded you only need to click the file and the ebook opens. Many ebooks are also compressed in (ZIP) format, so you will need a copy of Winzip (Shareware) www.winzip.com or Stuff it for Macintosh to unzip them.
