An eBook is a digital publication that can be read across a variety of devices including desktops (PC and Mac) and mobile devices (tablets and smartphones). LexisNexis® LexRead™ eBooks are digital downloadable file versions of our traditional print books, in most cases they are designed to look exactly like the print version so you will see the same layout, figures, graphs, charts, and/or drawings. Users can see a page at a time or 2-page spreads, and can zoom in for close study. Users can read eBooks online or download them to computers for off-line reading.
