OMAFRA Electronic Publications (EPUBs)

What is an EPUB?

An electronic publication (EPUB) is a publication in digital form consisting of text and pictures. EPUBs are readable on computers or other electronic devices such as dedicated eReaders, personal computers, tablets and some mobile phones. EPUB is designed for reflowable content, meaning that the text automatically formats to your screen size based on the device being used.

EPUBs allow you to take information with you and access it anywhere, anytime! Some of our publications are now available in EPUB format. Look for the EPUB link to download to your eReader or tablet device.

Check back often for new publications.
