Titles from EBSCO can be viewed online in smaller sections or chapters. A title is automatically checked out when you choose to view the "PDF Full Text". The EBSCO online reader enables you to utilize the features that are associated with your myEBSCOhost account such as saving sections or pages, saving citation information, and using a built in dictionary.
EBSCO eBooks are in .epub format. This format requires the download and use of Adobe Digital Editions. In some cases, but not all, portions of the text can be converted to .pdf so you may read on your kindle, nook, or other device. For further information on Adobe Digital Editions and instructions for downloading to Kindle, visit EBSCO's help page.
You may download the eBook title for offline reading in a few steps:
If desired, when you sign in to myEBSCOhost, you can retrieve Preferences settings that you selected and saved in a previous session.
If your information has changed, you can update your myEBSCOhost account with the new information.
