What is an Ebook ??
An Ebook or 'electronic book' is something you read on screen instead of on paper. It is the Media equivalent to a conventional printed book. You can store and/or load on a CD-R or CD-RW Ebooks and select and print the pages you want, at any time. All you need to view this Ebook PDF file is Adobe Acrobat Reader, which comes with most computers. If your computer does not have this, just go to the Adobe Acrobat Reader website and you can download it for FREE. You can print out these 8.5x11, black and white pages over and over again. (If you are purchasing one of our Coloring Ebooks for your children, they can select the pages they prefer, you can print the pages out over and over for them and they can even have coloring parties with their friends !) Just make sure your printer is set for clear and crisp copies. I have the Resell Rights to the 99 Gift Baskets ebook and the 591 Chocolate Lovers Treats ebook is offered *FREE* with this package.
