When you’re buying an ebook, you’ll often have the choice between a PDF or an ePUB format. Here's how to pick the best one for your reading needs:
Choosing PDF
- Fixed Layout: PDFs always look the same, no matter which device you use.
- Great for Graphics: If the book includes images, charts, or a special design, PDF keeps everything in place.
- Good for Printing: If you want to print pages from the ebook, PDF is the better choice.
Choosing ePUB
- Flexible Layout: ePUBs adapt to your device’s screen. Text resizes automatically, making it easier to read on phones and tablets.
- Better for Long Reading: If you’re reading lots of text (like a novel or textbook), ePUB offers a more comfortable experience.
- Smaller Downloads: ePUBs are often smaller files, so they download faster and use less space.
