eBooks: Download

Chapter downloads are downloaded as a .pdf file to your computer.

Some websites, such as Cambridge, do not allow full eBook downloads and only allow chapter downloads as PDFs.  

Many sites have restrictions on the number of chapters you can download/print for copyright reasons.  For instance, a book in Ebook Central might say, "97 pages remaining for PDF print/chapter download" and it counts down as you download chapters.  

When you're done reading an eBook, close your browser tab to end your session (and release the eBook so someone else can read it).

We recommend reading eBooks online whenever possible.  

For EBook Central (EBC) eBooks, the EBC Reader App is required when you want to download an entire book.. To download an entire eBook from EBC to any device, you:

• will sign in with your Assumption ID
• Continue to select how long you wish to borrow the item
• download the app and sign-in to authenticate access:
• 
• Once the app is downloaded, you can add your book to your 'bookshelf' and read for the allotted time. When a loan expires, the book will automatically be removed from your device and you will no longer be able to access this content. 

If you need help with the app, there is a printable guide here:
