E-books and E-book Collections  and  E-book Devices

Our eBooks come from a variety of vendors and publishers, each with its own look and feel. Most have some functions in common, such as:

Browse the collection by title or topic.

Search the collection by keyword, including

• Search for a keyword or phrase within a selected book
• Browse a selected book by table of contents
• Personalization options, such as:

save searches
create a bookshelf
annotate a book, adding highlighting and notes

Books can be read in a browser and in some cases can be downloaded for a specified borrowing period to compatible e-book readers.  Specifics are noted in the descriptions of individual products.

Most e-books are readable through a browse or e-book reader (Nook or Kindle, for example).
