Abstract
A self-service terminal (14) having a port (78) for transferring data is described. The terminal (14) includes a program (94) for informing a user about one or more electronic collectables (100) that a user can request, and for transferring a requested electronic collectable (100) to the user. The electronic collectables (100) typically comprise an image (104), an associated description (106) of the image, and file format information (102). A portable device (24) for accessing such a terminal (14) is also described. The device (24) comprises a program (50) for receiving a transferred electronic collectable (100) and for presenting at least part of the transferred electronic collectable so that a user of the device (24) can view an image and text portion of an electronic collectable (100) downloaded from the terminal (14).
