How to use our ebook downloads
Some of our publications are now available as ebooks, as well as in PDF format. Here's how you can start using them.
On an e-reader
We offer two formats:
- Mobi - choose this if you want to read on one of the Amazon Kindle range
- Epub - this is the best option for almost all other e-readers, including the Kobo, Nook and Sony ranges
On a tablet or phone
If you'd like to read on a mobile device which isn't a dedicated e-reader - for example an iPad, iPhone, or an Android device - you can choose either format depending on your needs.
- Mobi files will open if you have the Kindle app installed
- Epub files will open in the Apple Books or Google Play Books apps
- There are also other third-party apps available which may work with one or other format
On your desktop computer or laptop
You have many software choices on a PC or Mac, but we recommend using Adobe Digital Editions with the Epub format. Formatting may be lost with some other desktop software, which could cause inaccuracies.
Can I just use the PDF version on my e-reader?
Yes you can, but it's not the best choice for smaller screens because you're likely to have to zoom in and out. The ebook versions are formatted to provide the best experience on an e-reader or smaller device.
