Good question, I think the latter is what I was actually after. I'm very 
new to ebooks but I have had a query from my association council and I'm 
trying to find out as much as I can.

I think the idea is to have a pdf of our quarterly journal loaded up to 
our website and make it available for on-line viewing with flashy 
animated page-turning software.

But all suggestions received so far have been useful. For instance, I 
didn't know that ebooks could read pdf. We produce our journal in pdf 
format for the printer so the advice from KLUG has taken me a few more 
steps.

Thanks be to all.
