When connected to the internet and in the library databases, you can choose "Read Online" or "PDF Full Text" to read an e-book. Downloading is not required.
To read an e-book on your device while you are offline, you can use the "Full Download" or "Download Book" option. Several components are required before you will be able to download an e-book in most cases:
- Adobe Digital Editions free software and a personal Adobe ID
- A personal account with the e-book provider
Also, the options for the length of check out varies depending on the publisher and title. However, some e-books now allow unlimited downloading and saving.
For more detailed information and help accessing e-books, see the library's online guide or e-book provider support pages.
