Payment & delivery

Your requested eBook is carefully scanned using special book scanners at a high resolution. Then the digital images are merged into a single file in PDF format.

  • Use your standard software (Adobe Acrobat Reader), to read the eBook on-screen, zoom in to the image or navigate through the book.
  • Print single pages or the entire book.

Benefit from automatic text recognition! A special process of automatic text recognition is applied after your requested book is scanned:

  • Use the full text search of individual terms.
  • Copy the images and parts of the text to other applications (e.g. word processors).
  • Save the entire text as a text file and edit it.
