Using EBSCO eBooks can be challenging. The steps below outline an efficient way to read, print, and save EBSCO platform eBooks; this brief screencast shows those steps as well.

• This may seem counter intuitive, but avoid the "full download" option on the landing page of the ebook (left-hand side).
• Choosing the full download option requires creating both an EBSCO account and an Adobe Digital Edition account
• Choose PDF Full Text or EPUB Full Text immediately above "Full Download" to read online AS WELL AS have options for saving, emailing, and printing pages.
  • Choosing PDF or EPUB also will reveal access and use details for an eBook in the EBSCO platform

• The download/print page limit is in the upper left-hand side.  
  • Print/download limits vary by book, even within the same vendor platform (EBSCO, in this case).  Some books may have a print/download limit as high as 100 pages, while others may only allow 20 pages.
  • Note that these limits are per session: Beginning a new browser session will reset your limit

• You will also see books with print/download limits of zero pages. In these cases, although no pages may be printed or downloaded, the text is still fully readable on a computer screen.

These various publishers establish these varying limits.
