What is an eBook?
|
|
|
An eBook is an electronic Book - hence eBook. In
other words, an eBook is a Book that is stored as a file
on a computer.

|
Why should I use eBooks?
|
|
|
There are many reasons to use eBooks instead of
traditional paper bound books such as.... they are easier
to carry, they weigh nothing, they cost less (frequently)
and many, many more.

|
Are all eBooks the same?
|
|
|
As noted above, all eBooks are basically just PC files.
Most often they come in one of three (3) formats. These
are...

How do I get an eBook?
|
|
|
The most common way to get an eBook is to download it
directly to your PC over the Internet. This can usually be
done anytime day-or-night. Another way to get eBooks is to
order them on Pen-drive etc.

How do I read an eBook?

eBooks are usually read on your PC either by
double-clicking the eBook file itself to open it for
reading or by using special eBook "reader" software.

How can I find out about new eBooks
that come out?
|
|
|
The easiest way is to join our mailing list so we can
notify you when we add new titles to the site. You won't
find out about every new title this way...but you will
find out about a lot of 'em...and you'll get FREE eBooks,
FREE eReports and special Subscriber-Only sale
offers as well. Send mail to subscribe@infosols.com

What is this .ZIP thing?
|
|
|
.ZIP files are quite common on the Net. They are files,
or sets of files, stored in a highly
compressed (Zipped) format used primarily to reduce
download time and effort. To use the files in a ZIP, you
must first decompress (unZIP) them back to their
original state. This requires an UNZIP utility of some
kind. The two I recommend are...
