WHAT IS AN e-BOOK?
Although we used to create and ship printed books, we now produce only
e-books. What is an e-book? The letter "e" is short for "electronic." The book is written, like any other book, with photos added. We then copy the book's information onto a CD disc, a round, physical object that is easily inserted into a computer. To "read" the book on your computer screen, the only requirement is that Adobe Reader (a free, software program) is installed. This program is already downloaded to new computers. If it is not yet installed on an older model, just visit http://www.adobe.com and follow easy directions for that software installation. When you insert the disc, the first page will appear on your screen.
For the buyer, the benefits of purchasing an e-book are that the product is more easily stored than a printed book, the e-book is easy to "navigate" via internal navigation links, and any part of the e-book can be printed, should you wish to have a print copy for your own use. Any questions? Contact: pat@quiltersmuse.com
