What is it?

An eBook is a digital book or publication which has been created to be marketed on the Internet. Therefore the size, structure and design have had to be correctly modified to ensure correct visualisation, transmission time ( download time) and user possibilities.

EBooks offer many advantages:

• Universal access. Wherever you live in the world, if you have Internet access you can buy the eBooks we offer, without delays or shipping costs.

• Immediate availibility. Buy, download and read it is that easy.

• Cheaper retail price. There is no paper, ink or any intermediary distributor, therefore the price is lower.

• New tools. The electronic text incorporates the advantages of an electronic file like search, and the interactivity of the web format like navigation between pages,...

Main characteristics

• One of the main characteristics of eBooks is that to protect author and publisher rights, eBooks may not be printed or copied unless permission is given to do so by the publisher or owner. In the file for each of the eBooks on the Todoebook site you can see the permissions given for each title ( printing, copying or lending)

• Each eBook remains linked to the computer where it was downloaded. Therefore if you want an eBook, make sure that you download it on to the computer from where you are going to read it.

• E-books are bought exclusively from the Internet and must be paid for by credit card. Either VISA, 4B or MASTERCARD.

Prerequisites

• A personal computer (PC Pentium 200 or Mac) or a laptop with at least 6MB of free hard disc space.

How are they read?

Electronic books are read from a computer screen, be it a personal computer, a Macintosh or a laptop. The reader programme Adobe Reader is required to download and visualise them. The pages appear on the screen in the same form as in a book, and using the page navigator incorporated in the Adobe Digital Editions or Adobe Reader 6 or 7 you can turn the pages or jump from one to another as you wish.

With Adobe Digital Editions or Adobe Reader 6 or 7 you can search words on your eBooks and also serves as a library on your computer allowing you to arrange your eBooks.
