eBook Formats at Abbott ePublishing
Currently, books are published in .pdf
(Adobe Portable Document Format) and Mobipocket formats.
Portable
Document
Format has become extremely popular as an eBook format. It offers
clarity, excellent readability and the ability to faithfully reproduce
the authors’ printed word on a readable page.
.PDFs
have
become a standard reading format for many devices, including Amazon’s
Kindle Reader. Documents can be read on any desktop or laptop using
Adobe’s free-to-download Adobe Reader. You can download the latest
version at http://get.adobe.com/reader.
Mobipocket is
another standard format that has gained wide acceptance. It can be
read using the free Mobipocket Desktop Reader, which is downloadable at
mobipocket.com.
It
can be used with the operating systems of a vast array of handheld
devices, such as the Blackberry, Palm OS, and on Windows Mobile-enabled
handhelds.
Some of our eBooks are available on ePub, another popular format that
is good when only text is used, and where images are unimportant. We've
had mixed results with this format, and for most of our eBooks, it
isn't a good fit.
We will be
offering
several other formats in the future. Please let us know which formats
you’d like to see us offer.
