BERKELEY, CA--Nolo.com is at it again, offering additional ways to help consumers easily erase esoterica from real estate transactions and home ownership issues.
RealtyTimes.com this week discovered a new eProducts Home Page on the legal self-help publisher's six-year old Web site that centralizes the print and online publisher's growing archive of electronic products, many of which offer consumers assistance with real estate issues.
Along with the former print-only publisher's electronic and downloadable series of eBooks and eFormKits, Nolo.com's eProducts also include WebForms and
eGuides.
With eFormKits you can download and complete legal documents on your personal computer, but WebForms makes using the forms even easier by allowing you to complete them online, and then print them right from the Web site.
Likewise, eGuides, condensed versions of Nolo's eBooks, make it easier to digest pertinent information gleaned from the full-version electronic books.
"Most of our books are available for downloading electronically, but most people don't want to download a 500-page manuscript," said online media spokeswoman Jen Lee.
Nolo.com exhibits an ongoing commitment to providing useful Internet content by finding unique ways to deliver. Earlier this year, after holding a cyberspace "open house" of free real estate content, it posted an array of realty calculators that do the math for real estate consumers.
Here's a quick look at some of the real estate titles of Nolo's two newest eProducts, eGuides and WebForms.
