New Partnership Allows Outdoor Enthusiasts To Purchase and Download Travel and Outdoor eBooks.
ASPEN, CO - June 3, 2002 - Interactive Outdoors, owner of Wildernet.com, and Publications Unbound, the largest distributor of outdoor books in North America, announced a new partnership that will enable Wildernet.com visitors to purchase and download travel and outdoor eBooks when planning their outdoor activities.
Wildernet.com, an online outdoor recreation guide, is the most comprehensive website of its kind. In addition to its over 35,000 activity descriptions for hikes, fishing spots, campgrounds, bike routes, horseback rides and more, visitors will now be able to purchase and download travel and outdoor eBooks.
eBooks are simply books that are available in digital format. eBooks are
ordered online and download immediately, without waiting days for delivery.
Not only does this save time, it makes it ideal for planning that
spur-of-the-moment trip. eBooks also save money with no shipping, no taxes,
and the lowest prices. eBooks can be read on a desktop PC at the office or
at home, or on a laptop computer or PDA while traveling which means
backcountry trekkers can print and pack only the pages they need. ebook users can digitally search for words or phrases and jump to them in the book with the digital index and table of contents (just like a paper book) can allow users to jump to the page that they want with a single click of a mouse. Additionally, eBook users have the ability to zoom-in on a picture or map to view more detail, regardless of their printer or screen resolution.
