What is an e-book?

An e-book is an electronic book that is downloaded from the Internet. It is hyperlinked just like a web page; however, you do not have to be online to navigate through an e-book using your mouse.

Most e-books are in PDF (Portable Document Format) because it is compatible with almost all operating systems and platforms. Adobe Corporation makes the most popular PDF software used to create e-books. They also allow anyone to download a free PDF Reader at their website. A PDF Reader is required to read an e-book.

E-books can be printed if the e-book creator allows it. Our e-books can be printed.
