On your screen right now is an ebook. An ebook that has been written as ebook in ePub format. This format is accessible by most e-readers, PCs, laptops, smartphones and tablets. In some cases you may need a special application, which you can download from various app stores, usually free of charge. If you have read ebooks before, you’ll probably already have such an app and you’ll have opened this ebook using the app. For iOS we advise Apple iBooks, for Windows Adobe Digital Editions is a good choice and for Android we advise Aldiko. You may find a full overview of popular appliances and their ePub software here.
This book makes use of the advantages an ebook has over traditional printed books. For instance it has many hyperlinks to web pages, to illustrative videos or to additional information on YouTube. When you click on these links, your browser will open automatically. For this a reader with Internet access is required.
Also you will find many internal links that enable easy navigation of the book. The links always work. Pressing the ‘backwards’ key behind a bold-faced sales tweet lets you leap into the contents of a chapter. Subsequently on that page you can leap into the chapter index with a simple press of that same key again. You can view a chapter’s full content by clicking on the blue link text of the chapter you wish to read. If you wish to read the ebook in its original page order, you’re better off using the designated keys of your reader. When using a touchscreen, be sure to press on the links a little longer in some applications so the links work properly.
The ebook has one more register. All the concluding sales(t)wits in this book can be found in numerical order in the witindex according to the MCM P CMC diagram. By clicking on the sales(t)wit’s number in this register, you will be directed to the chapter in which this sales(t)wit is discussed. When you click on the number before a sales(t)wit in that chapter, you will return to the witindex. Should your reader be unable to click back and forth between the sales(t)wit numbers in the text and the numbers in the registers, it is advisable to remember the number you clicked. That way you’ll still be able to find a particular sales(t)wit again. So clicking through the ebook with no more information than the sales(t)wits themselves, is possible with the MCM P CMC diagram to guide you.
Some ebook reading applications, like Adobe Digital Editions, display a publisher’s ToC (Table of Content) beside the text in the book. This ToC also is suitable for navigation of the book. Other applications like iBooks and Aldiko enable book navigation and search using the application’s own index. This also works well.
Important note on navigation and reading of this ebook: the bold-faced wits in this book are concise summaries of the descriptive contents before.
