Packt to make ePub downloads available from its website

1 min read

ePub (short for electronic publication) is a free and open eBook standard by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF). ePub allows greater flexibility with content. With an ePub-formatted book, the display of text can be optimized for the reader’s device.  Other ePub features include improved design and layout, Inline raster and vector images, better search functionality, while enabling DRM protection and embedded metadata.

The company’s marketing manager Damian Carvill said “Packt listens to all feedback from customers and attempts to act on it accordingly. After receiving a number of requests, we made it a priority to convert all of our existing eBooks into the ePub format. All of our future books, and we hope to publish over 20 in July, will also be available in this popular eBook format.”

Packt is inviting all customers, who have purchased an eBook, to download the ePub version of the book and enjoy its features and great flexibility. Alternatively, customers can sample the ePub format by accessing one of Packt’s free eBooks. All purchases of new eBooks from today will be made available to download as an ePub file, as well as the standard PDF.

Packt ePub formatted eBooks are available from Tuesday 20th July 2010. To access your first Packt ePub eBook, either previously purchased or one of Packt’s free eBooks, please log into www.PacktPub.com and go to My account.
