About Emond Ebooks
Our ebooks use the VitalSource Bookshelf platform. Ebooks purchased before April 14, 2023 used the Emond Reader app which has now been transitioned to VitalSource. If you have an Emond Reader ebook that you can no longer access, please reach out to us at hello@emond.ca and provide us with your lifetime ebook(s) you purchased and we will transition your ebook to the VitalSource platform.
Discover the enhanced readability and accessibility of Emond’s ebooks. Our ebooks offer a wide range of features, including the ability to access your ebooks on multiple personal devices, highlight content, take notes, read offline, and search for keywords. Their format preserves illustrative diagrams and charts as well as sample forms and precedents, and also maintains pagination so that ebook page numbers correspond to hardcopy page numbers. The VitalSource platform supports various accessibility features, such as adjustable fonts, sizes, and colours, text-to-speech, screen-reader compatibility, and high contrast mode, to make reading and learning easier for all users. Limited copying and printing are permitted, up to a daily and lifetime limit for each publication.
