Brittanica Digital Learning has just launched a new Web-based e-books service available to schools and libraries: ebooks.eb.com. Over 300 non-fiction digital books, covering math, science, language arts, social studies and health, are now available, and Britannica will be adding hundreds of more titles over the next few years.
According to the press release, “Each e-book contains the entire text of the print edition and illustrations ‚ many of which are striking, high-definition and full-color. Tables of contents, indexes and glossaries are hyperlinked and fully searchable…. The first 15 pages of each title are available free at ebooks.eb.com.”
Better yet, Encyclopedia Britannica is making the collection available to e-Views readers from now till September 7, 2011, for free!
