Getting Started
Q - What is an e-book?
A - An e-book (also known as an electronic book) is a book-length publication in digital form, consisting of text and images (or both), readable via computer or other electronic device.
Wikipedia provides general information about e-books, as well as comparisons of e-book formats and e-book readers.
Q - Why isn't the book I want in e-book format?
A - Many publishers do not publish e-book versions at the same time as the print book version—many times there's a delay of 3 to 6 months after the print publication before an e-book version is available. Also, even though a publisher may sell an e-book version to individuals, they may not offer that e-book title for sale to academic libraries. Lastly, publishers often charge a much higher price to academic libraries, since there's a potential for much higher usage—these prices vary depending on the publisher or platform, and can be as much as 500% more than the price charged to an individual. Because of budget restrictions, UNT may not be able to acquire the title cost effectively or in a timely manner in e-book format.
