• depending on the device used and the format purchased, accessibility features such as the size and typeface of text, line spacing, number of words per line and page orientation can be adjusted - some devices will also read books aloud;
• passages of text can be highlighted, electronic notes made and pages bookmarked for later reference;
• e-books can be downloaded and read instantly without having to wait for delivery; and
• there are no postage and packaging charges.
