RUNNING
WITH THE TIMES
Encompass
Editions publishes for book lovers. We like the way books look and
feel.
Still,
truth to tell, digital
editions can be seductively convenient and digital readers are
increasingly compatible with our needs and tastes. Our own
reservations have centered on the popular Kindle format, which
obliterates the book designer's skills in favour of conserving file
space. But a new generation of readers are able to handle PDF files,
and PDF files are able to capture the book's original design. New
editions of iPhone, iPad, the Nook Tablet from Barnes & Noble – and
now even the Kindle reader – are bringing the digital book experience
ever closer to the book experience.
We'll
be offering Encompass digital books through as many book distribution
forums as possible. But if you can't find them elsewhere, you can
always find them here, on our home site.
BETTER THAN BETTER
The Encompass Digital Book is a glorious full colour PDF — essentially the files that go to our printer – and includes the front and back covers. We send them out directly from our office by e-mail. They cost less than half the price of an unformatted digital text from Amazon and arrive at your e-mail address in minutes. Read them on any device able to view PDFs or print them and bind them in leather. They're yours!
