TRN E-Books and E-Files


What is an e-Book?

TRN e-Books are a complete electronic version of the print edition. Every piece of content down to the page numbering is the same. Because we save the costs of printing and shipping the book to you, we are able to offer e-Books at a lower cost than print editions. Our store list of available e-Books and e-Files are here or

What are the benefits of e-Books?

  • You can get the information you need immediately
  • You can easily take them with you on a laptop
  • You can print them out
  • They are searchable
  • They are lower price than print
  • They save resources
  • e-Book Format

    Our e-Books are currently only available in Adobe PDF document format. This is not Adobe e-Book Reader format, which has greater restrictions on security. TRN e-Books are regular PDF documents with the following properties:

  • They are password-protected when you open them
  • You cannot cut and paste from them
  • You need to use Adobe Reader v6 or later to read TRN e-Books. You can download Adobe Reader for free from http://www.adobe.com/reader.

    Buying and Downloading an e-Book

    Your e-Book will show in your cart as a product on its own. After completing checkout in the normal way, you will receive an email containing a link to a personalized PDF download file. Or, just click on 'my files' to go to all the downloads you have purchased. You can download backup copies of the file by logging in to your account at any time.

    If you already have Adobe reader installed, then clicking on the link will download and open the PDF file directly. If you don't, then save the PDF file on your machine and download the Reader to view it.

    Please Note: TRN e-Books are non-returnable and non refundable.
