Hamilton City Libraries are now lending out eBooks through Wheelers ePlatform! Step-by-step guides are available on the Wheelers website. You are able to borrow 5 eBooks at a time, for up to 2 weeks. These are available in ePUB format, with some PDFs. They are not compatible with Kindles. Files supplied through the e-Platform should not, under any circumstances, be converted to a different format. An electronic book (eBook) is a book you can read on your computer, laptop or other device, such as an eBook reader or mobile phone. Sally Pewhairangi from the Finding Heroes website has a very handy flowchart available you can work through to help you decide which device would best suit you. |
