An ebook (short for electronic book), also known as a digital book, is an e-text that forms the digital media equivalent of a conventional printed book, often restricted with a digital rights management (DRM) system. An ebook, as defined by the Oxford Dictionary of English, is "an electronic version of a printed book which can be read on a personal computer or hand-held device designed specifically for this purpose."
ViewInside offers users the opportunity to sample ebook content online without committing to a purchase. Readers can explore a limited number of pages of each title, search within the content, and change viewing options.
Users who purchase an interRAI ebook receive offline access to the complete text using Adobe Digital Editions, as well as annotation and bookmarking features. Notes and bookmarks are also consolidated across the user's entire "bookshelf" of purchased content.
Once you have purchased an interRAI ebook, you must then download it to your computer. Prior to downloading your ebook, you must install Adobe Digital Editions, the software through which you can view and customize your ebooks. Without this software, you will not be able to access your ebooks.

Below the description of each ebook, there is a link: “Download PDF with DRM.” "PDF" is the file format in which your ebook appears, and "DRM" is Digital Rights Management – this refers to interRAI’s control of how its ebook content is protected, distributed, and customized. Please refer to the About ebooks page for details on interRAI's DRM policy.
