File Formats & DRM:

Hackett eBooks are available in fixed-layout (PDF) and flowing-text (ePub) file formats. Fixed-layout eBooks mirror the print book in layout and pagination. Flowing-text eBooks adjust the text display to accommodate different screen sizes and eReader software settings and do not preserve the pagination of the print edition. However, many flowing-text Hackett eBooks include embedded print book page numbers within the eBook text. For questions about print book page numbers in Hackett's flowing-text eBooks, please email our marketing team. All Hackett titles with eBook editions are available in a fixed-layout format and most are also available in a flowing-text format. Available file formats vary at each vendor, please see the notes below for information about file formats sold at each vendor. All eBook vendors apply DRM to the eBook files which restrict the purchased eBook to use with vendor-compatible software and devices. Please visit the eBook vendor websites for more information about each vendor's eReader software options and compatible devices.
