eReaders lending

The Research Library in Olomouc currently loans eReaders of the Jinke Hanlin, Kindle, PocketBook, and Sony brands, and an Apple iPad multimedia tablet. The eReaders contain collections of books in the PDF format, primarily by classic Czech authors, with free copyright.

The eReaders can be ordered via the library catalogue (except the Sony PRS-T1 eReader with the location number W 6, which is intended only for in-house use within the Multimedia Study Room and cannot be ordered).

Freely accessible and paid sources of e-books and useful links may be found, for example, at this website.
