When reading samples, excerpts, tables of contents or reading group guides, the system will serve out the content in either it's provided PDF or EPUB form. Most files we currently have provided to CataList are in PDF format, which will open in your browser's native PDF viewer. You can access the browser's PDF functionality tools to download, zoom, or print the content. if the file is an EPUB type, the system will open the file in an EPUB reader frame. if you prefer to read on your own PDF reader you can download the file and open it using your favourite EPUB reading tool. | Tip |

If your files automatically download instead of opening for display, this is a local browser setting on your machine which you can manange in your browser settings. |

In CataList we've also made some changes to item displays to make advanced reading options more visible. The changes include separating out the publisher and NetGalley ARC requests to make available options so that retailers and librarirans can more easily see what types of ARCs may be available.
