How to Print eBook Pages
Reading books on the screen are much more popular than before. You are able to read eBooks on
e-readers and smart devices. However, there is no real way to print out them for reference. In the old days, you can just put a book page on a copier, and you will get a copy of it, but with eBooks, it’s a little trickier to copy pages in the same way.
The Kindle, Kobo, Nook, and Barnes & Noble books are published with encryption technology and you only allowed to open them on their own e-readers and Apps. There is no ‘print’ function embedded that you are not allowed to print eBooks directly. Is there any particular way to get it over?
Yes, definitely! We will show you how to print eBook pages in 2 different ways.
