Offline editions of Nxtbook content use the executable (non-browser) version of Flash
Player. Offline versions are functionally identical to browser-based publications, except
that they include local rich media files instead of streaming media (resulting in larger
file sizes), and publishers cannot obtain tracking data. About 10% of all Nxtbook digital
editions are downloaded for offline reading.
