We don't recommend downloading e-books. Why?

The process for downloading e-books requires an account with each e-book provider, downloading the appropriate e-book reader for that provider, and creating an account with Adobe. 

It's more efficient to download a chapter or chapters.

Our e-books are designed for online research. 

You can search for keywords within the e-book using the Search Within feature of the Viewer. 

The default view includes an expandable Table of Contents, relevancy ranked search terms by chapter, and a navigation toolbar in the content pane

If you like to print pages before reading, you can by creating a PDF.

You can copy the whole page or copy text within a page.
