Hi,
EBooks are nothing but trouble. Don't buy or download them.
If they're not made up of scanned images that can't be read with a
screen reader, they're encumbered with digital restrictions management
to stop you from saving the text.
They're even a problem for sighted people, when, for example,
they enforce policies such as only allowing you to print one copy; so
if your printer chokes on it, you have to purchase your EBook again.
