While each volume is also available separately in print or as a standalone e-book, the collection brings the entire series together in one interface. While the simplicity of this interface makes it user-friendly, it lacks important functionality that other e-book collection interfaces commonly include, such as the ability to e-mail book sections or check out and download copies of books to personal reading devices.", }
