ACCP makes certain titles available in a variety of formats for use with portable devices. These formats include:
- Adobe PDF - This format can be viewed on any desktop/laptop computer with Adobe Reader installed, and is widely supported by portable devices. Text size cannot be adjusted, which can make reading difficult on small screens.
- ePUB - This format is supported by most e-readers (including the Amazon Kindle family of products), as well as by a variety of phones/tablets via free apps. Text size can be adjusted for the reader's convenience. Tables and figures may be omitted from this format as they tend to become unreadable on many small screen devices.
- eBook - This format is supported by eBook apps such Adobe Digital Editions (available on both desktop and mobile) and PocketBook Reader. This format may be viewed on up to five different devices if the eBook app/device is properly authorized with an Adobe account/ID (available for free). eBooks cannot be printed or shared.
ACCP's goal is to allow you to read the content on any device you choose. For information on which format to select and how to load it to your device, choose your device from the list below.
