The E-book: choose which format you read

E-books: choose which format you read

In January 2010, a new way of reading appeared in Issy's multimedia libraries - the electronic reading machine also known as ebook! Issy's multimedia libraries are the ones lending the most e-books in France.

22 light weight e-books with a three week battery life are available for lending to the general public. Reading comfort is equal to that of paper books, because the e-paper is generating a matt page, without reflection or sparkling unlike a computer screen.■

Useful information

The electronic reading machine's user interface helps to find works through a title, author or collection search. You can resume your reading from the page you stop at, just like using a bookmark.

These e-books can be borrowed under the same conditions as any other document, using a multimedia library "Adult" card, for 24 days. Each e-book contains 200 volumes. ■
