You can download them to any computer, including your portable (便携式) computer so you can take them with you when you travel, and create your own library of hundreds of titles. Best of all, when you order an ebook, there is no waiting and no shipping or handling charges. The amount of time it takes to download your ebook depends on the speed of your connection and the size of your ebook.
