21. Electronic books are the digital equivalent of hard copy
books.
Some of the e-books and e-book websites only allow
access to a limited number of SU members at the same
time. You will get a message that the book is not
available and you will have to try again later.
On most, but not all, clients can create a free, individual
account which will allow the reader to:
• save books to a personal bookshelf from where it can be
accessed again at a later stage
• highlight sections and insert notes
• print individual pages
