Some can only be read after installing special reader programs like Microsoft reader and Acrobat reader. </h4> <h4><br> </h4> <h4>Erotic Tales ebooks are compiled using html (hypertext mark-up language) files ... the same files used to display web pages. In fact, the page you're reading now is an html file. You navigate your ebook in the same way you navigate from one web page to another. </h4> <h4><br> </h4> <h4>Each Erotic Tales ebook consists of a number of html files (pages) compiled into one executable (.exe) file, which runs just like any other computer program. </h4> <center> <h4><a href="faq-fs.html#ebooks">Back</a></h4> <br> </center> <h4><a name="02"></a><b>2.
