What are eBooks and in which format do they come?
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. eBooks come in two formats, being Microsoft Word and Adobe PDF. No special software is required. You would order the Microsoft Word format if you wish to have the convenience of being able to copy and paste text and modify it for your own use. This is particularly handy for titles that include checklists. The Adobe PDF format allows you to view the text but is not convenient for modifying purposes.
