No doubt it gives you a pleasant feeling to hold a printed edition in your hands, enjoy the rustle of the pages. Definitely, electronic versions will not be able to completely replace classical book printing. However, there are new multiple benefits modern technologies also offer us:

1. Publication speed. The process of publishing and distributing an e-book requires much less time than a printed book does. Time-consuming stages of printing, transportation and distribution are excluded from the classical publishing chain. Consequently, your scientific work will become available to the scientific and intellectual community much faster.
2. Accessibility. Electronic editions have no state borders and any territorial restrictions. Your monograph can be instantly read by a colleague from any part of the country or the globe. No complicated logistics is required to arrange delivery.
   
3. Easy to use. An e-book can be read on any electronic device, it does not take up space in luggage or in a briefcase, and, therefore, it is convenient to read it on route. In addition, electronic options are convenient to use when writing new articles and monographs, since it is easier to find and extract all the necessary quotations from an electronic rather than a printed book.

We issue books in two main formats - PDF and ePub. PDF is convenient to read on computers and laptops, while ePub is designed for electronic "readers". When buying, you can choose which of the formats suits you best. The type of format of the e-book does not affect the price.
