Too often researchers, students, and readers in general can only find small portions of publications they seek on the web; little teasers designed to whet the appetite.  Then, they are forced to buy a paper based product or download an e-book file.  Both options have major drawbacks.  Old or obscure texts are generally out-of-print and can result in lengthy book searches.  Paper based publications can be expensive, especially for products that have high quality bindings and paper.  E-books require installing book reader software on all your computers, then downloading encrypted publication files to your desktop... that may or may not work on your laptop.  eDruid Press Inc. offers a third option: web based publications.

eDruid Press Inc. offerings are stored in protected databases on our website.  They are accessed using industry standard browsers.  Guests need no special software or hardware and they don't need to take up any space on their personal computers.  All they need is a connection to the internet and a reasonably modern web browser.  The online library makes every page of every publication available for a free preview.  When the preview is up, if you like what you saw, you have the option of securing extended access.  You purchase only the publications you want.  There are no subscriptions to endlessly renew and no expiration dates to worry about.

The browser based Web Book Reader is paperless, so it’s green. No printing saves trees, ink, production chemicals, and transportation and warehousing costs. Lowered publishing costs are passed on as lower prices to the customer.  The database driven publishing model makes sophisticated search features possible. Guests can search for a keyword or phrase and the system returns an organized results page. The search term is shown in context with a hyperlink to the associated page. The search capability of the Web Book Reader is one of the premier features. Once you’ve used it you’ll never want to go back to old fashioned paper books to do research.  So please visit the online library and enjoy your stay.
