About Engine House E-books
What Are E-books?
Engine House E-books are electronic versions of books that have been formatted for viewing on electronic book readers.
What format are the files?
The files we create are in standard EPUB format. Most e-book readers support this format. Some companies that sell e-book readers convert the EPUB format we give them to some other format for use on their devices. Similarly, some online retailers convert the EPUB file into various other formats so as to support as many readers as possible.
Do the files implement any Digital Restrictions Management?
No. The files are copyrighted, but they impose no digitally-managed
restrictions. We do expect purchasers to abide by applicable laws.
So what is the quality like?
The technology of e-books is not yet mature; however, we do the best possible job given the limitations
imposed by current hardware and software. We re-set the books especially for use with e-book viewers in order to optimize
the look of pages on their relatively small screens. However, the implementation of the EPUB standard varies widely from one
e-book reader to the next, so you may find the occasional glitch in the rendering on any particular reader. We do our best to avoid
such problems, but it is not possible to test every version of the firmware for every reader on the market.
What E-books are available?
The current selection is available from the E-books drop-down menu at the top of this page.
