UM RAFBÆKUR Á HEIMKAUP.IS

Bókahillan þín er þitt svæði og þar eru bækurnar þínar geymdar. Þú kemst í bókahilluna þína hvar og hvenær sem er í tölvu eða snjalltæki. Einfalt og þægilegt!

Rafbók til eignar

Þú kemst í bækurnar hvar sem er

Glósur og yfirstrikanir

Hvað viltu sjá? / Þú ræður hvernig síðan lítur út
