Can I copy and paste, or print from an eBook?

Yes, most of the eBook platforms we have access to allow for copying and printing. Please note, like print books, this is subject to copyright and you may only be allowed to print or copy a percentage of the total book.

You will usually find the printing and copying options within the eBook reader platform. See example options below.
