LexisNexis SA has released what it calls the first local professional e-books service in the country.

The online bookstore is designed to cater for the research needs within the legal, tax, accounting and financial services industries.

LexisNexis says the new e-books look and act in the same way to print editions, using the same indexing and layout. Added features include search tools, hyperlinks, cross-referencing functions, as well as highlighting and annotations. Changes can be saved and synchronised across devices, and offline access is available.

“Despite all these new functions, e-books use a surprisingly low amount of memory and a wonderful paperless option for today's modern eco-conscious office and a great alternative to the outdated and costly CD and DVD technologies,” says LexisNexis SA.

LexisNexis SA CEO Billy Last says: “This new format is designed to help professionals access the information that they need, whenever they need it, wherever they are. The product is available across multiple platforms and can be accessed from a broad range of electronic devices such as laptops, smartphones and e-readers.”

The current range of e-books available can be seen in the LexisNexis online bookstore. Once a user has made a purchase, they will receive an e-mail with a download link for the e-book.

It is recommended that customers have the latest Adobe Digital software installed on their devices, and have a secure Adobe ID account.
