Pricing for a pre-ordered book is estimated and subject to change. All backorders will be released at the final established price. If the price decreases, we will simply charge the lower price. Applicable discounts will be extended. An ebook is one of two file formats that are intended to be used with e-reader devices and apps such as Amazon Kindle or Apple iBooks.
A PDF is a digital representation of the print book, so while it can be loaded into most e-reader programs, it doesn't allow for resizable text or advanced, interactive functionality. The eBook is optimized for e-reader devices and apps, which means that it offers a much better digital reading experience than a PDF, including resizable text and interactive features when available.
If an eBook is available, you'll see the option to purchase it on the book page. View more FAQ's about Ebooks. What is climate? Climate is commonly thought of as the expected weather conditions at a given location over time. People know when they go to New York City in winter, they should take a heavy coat.
