Check out also Celia's Saavuta e-kirja material (in Finnish) which explores the tools that make reading e-books easier. The most common e-book services used in university libraries are included.
The EPUB3 format allows text to be scalable, allowing users to change the size and font of the text if needed.
A separate reading program is required to read EPUB files. Such reading programs are for example Thorium Reader (Windows, Linux, and Mac) and Lithium: EPUB Reader for Android phones.
More information on listening and reading aids can be found on Celia's website.
