FIT TO DIVE

The eBooks on Fit To Dive are in ePub files.  

What is an ePub File?   An ePub file (.epub) is a popular ebook format that stands for "electronic publication." It is widely used for its compatibility with various devices and software. The format is designed to be reflowable, meaning the text can adapt to fit different screen sizes, making it ideal for reading on various devices.

This format has been chosen as it offers the best reading experience.  Depending on your eReader, you will be able to change font and font size, highlight and make notes.  The text will also "re-flow" to fit your screen.  

Please note: ePub files do not open on a computer, phone or tablet unless you have an appropriate app installed.  Below are instructions on how to read the ebook on eReaders, tables, phones and computers.
