eBook Formats in the Online Reader:

What eBook formats are available?

When using the online reader, Liverpool University Press eBooks are available in PDF and EPUB format. When downloading, eBooks are also available available in PDF and EPUB format. Note that not all books will be available in both formats. 

Where to find the available formats on the landing page?

Available formats cannot be determined on the landing page. To find what formats are available, first open the book in the online reader by clicking the 'PDF/EPUB' button located under the general information on the landing page.

Once the book is open in the online reader, the button on the header labelled either 'PDF', or 'EPUB' will indicate which format is currently open. In cases where both formats are available, clicking on this button will bring up a drop-down menu allowing you to switch between formats. 

Changing Font Size/Zoom:

Font Size:

When in EPUB format, font size can be changed directly within the online reader. First, open the text options drop-down menu by clicking the 'T' icon at the centre of the header.  In this menu is an option labelled 'Font Size', next to which are a plus and a minus button. These buttons can be used to increase or decrease font size to your liking. 

Zoom:

Currently, there is no built in zoom option in the Liverpool University Press online reader. In cases where the zoom size can be changed in the browser's settings, the changes will be displayed broadly on the Liverpool University Press website.

Changing Font Type

When in EPUB format, font type can be changed directly within the online reader.  First, open the text options drop-down menu by clicking the 'T' icon at the centre of the header.  In this menu is an option labelled 'Font', with the text 'Default' beneath it. Clicking this text will bring up a further drop-down menu with a variety of different font options. Clicking on one of these will apply that font to the entire book.

Page Layout Options:

When using the EBUP format in the online reader, Liverpool University Press offers a few different page layout options which can be mixed and matched as you like.

Changing Page Layout

The options for changing the page layout can be found be clicking the 'T' icon at the centre of the header to open the text options drop-down menu.

Alignment

There are two different text alignment options: align left, centred. Clicking on the buttons below the 'Alignment' heading will allow you to change between these options.

Hyphenation

Turing on the hyphenation option formats the text so that words split over two lines are separated by a hyphen, rather than being fit onto a single line.  

Reading Flow

There are two different options for reading flow: one which arranges the pages vertically, and the other horizontally. When arranged vertically, the mouse scroll wheel or up and down arrows can be used to change between pages. When arranged horizontally, clicking the onscreen arrows located at the bottom of the reader will change between pages. 

Column

When using the horizontal page flow setting, the columns option allows to switch between having one or two pages of text visible on the screen at once. 

Changing background/text colour:

Currently, there is no built-in option to change the colour of the background or text within the Taylor & Francis online reader. In cases where colours can be changed in the browser's settings, the changes will be displayed when using both the EPUB and PDF formats in the online reader.

Keyboard Navigation:

The Liverpool University Press website can be navigated using a keyboard through using the tab key to move between links, and the enter button to follow a link. The arrow keys can then be used to scroll up and down a page.

The website features a 'Skip to Main Content' button which appears in the upper centre of the screen when first pressing the tab key on any page. Pressing the enter key when this button is highlighted will skip the website's headers and move directly to the book's content. 

Note that when using the online reader with vertical reading flow, the page up and page down buttons on your keyboard must be used to move between pages instead of the arrow keys. 

Using the Table of Contents:

How do I access the table of contents from the landing page?

Whilst there is a table of contents present on the landing page, it is not clickable. Instead, a table of contents can be accessed from within the online reader.

The book's own table of contents is clickable and will navigate to any selected chapter. Furthermore, the reader has its own table of contents which can be accessed at any time. Clicking the 'Outline' icon located on the small toolbar on the left of the screen will bring up a full table of contents. Clicking on any chapter title will navigate the reader to that point in the book.
