What is an eBook?

An eBook is a book that is only available in an electronic format. In the case of The Insider's Guide to Sal, Cape Verde, the electronic format that it is sold in is called a PDF (Portable Document Format). PDF files can be opened in a programme called Adobe Acrobat which is probably already installed on your computer. Once the PDF file is open, it's just like reading a normal document. You can read it on your computer screen and make the print larger or smaller or you can print it out in colour (if you have a colour printer) or black and white. Each page of The Insider's Guide will print out on a single A4 page, the usual paper size in your printer.

Don't worry - it really is very straightforward and if you do happen to have problems, we're here to help.

I'm not sure about this 'eBook thing'. Why can't I get a published hard copy of The Insider's Guide?

Publishing a printed book can take up to six months once it has been written. So, even when the book is first available on the shelves the content is already more than six months old. This really matters in a country growing at a pace as fast as Cape Verde.
