We launched our eBook platform at the end of 2016/early 2017 and now offer virtually all our backlist in this format with new titles made available simultaneously as print and eBook. Equinox eBooks are only available through the Equinox platform and not through any other content aggregators. As soon as an eBook is available to buy from our website, that option (and prices) will appear on the book’s webpage. Our eBooks are enhanced PDFs with the following features:

User Experience

  • Quickly create lists to use with our research tools
  • Citation generation and management
  • Overview mode displays the entire book as thumbnail images, allowing for fast navigation.
  • Create a bibliography
  • Integrated with tools such as EndNote, BibTeX, etc.
  • Save notes / snippets on each book
  • Access (download, print) notes without having to find the book
  • Copy-and-paste and download individual PDF pages
  • Bookmarks can be accessed outside of books, i.e. users can view a list of bookmarks and jump straight into the book at that page
  • Fast searches open directly at the page of the result
  • Save search results for future reference and refining
  • Minimal DRM for package subscribers and most institutional purchases

Accessibility

  • Our reader offers a richly interactive and easy-to-use eBook (PDF) environment, gracefully adjusting itself to the user’s particular hardware (e.g. PC, Mac, mobile, tablet) and browser software (at a minimum being compatible with IE7) on PCs. For the best results we recommend a modern HTML5-compatible browser or any “multi-touch” compatible Android / Apple smartphone or tablet)
  • Zoom in function enables text to be read clearly at any size
  • Switchable graphical and text view modes. The graphical mode shows each page as in the printed document (or source PDF), and the text view shows each page in plain text, which can be picked up by a screenreader
  • Document scaling: Pages can be zoomed-in with no degradation to print quality, because in graphical mode the pages use vector (SVG) graphics.
  • Light/dark modes: The plain text presentation can be switched between light-on-dark and dark-on-light, and the font size can be increased, allowing for improved accessibility.

For Libraries

Equinox offer libraries a number of ways to access our new and backlist titles online, and free trials are available. We list institutional prices on all our book pages as guidance. Prices for library customers may differ from the retail price for textbooks or reference books to allow for multiple, simultaneous use. Discounts are available for packages. Institutional access is provided via IP recognition under license. Libraries may order directly from us either through the website or through their usual library supplier. Please contact us if you wish to be invoiced. We will also need your IP or eProxy details and we will need to send our site license for your signature.
