  1. Not all of the Library’s eBooks provides this option.
    • If you are not offered a downloading/offline option then it is not available.
    • PDF documents that are not controlled by digital rights management software may be downloaded to most PCs without the need for additional software.
  2. Downloading eBooks using Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) software
    • If you wish to download eBooks to your computer or device, you must have both a free Adobe account and the free Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) software installed. Adobe Digital Editions allows you to access eBooks downloaded to your computer in either ePub or PDF format protected with Adobe Digital Rights Management (DRM).  
    • Download Adobe Digital Editions.
      During installation of Adobe Digital Editions there should be an option to Authorize Computer. Select Authorize Computer and login with your Adobe ID and Password. Note: If you select Don’t Authorize Computer you cannot transfer an Adobe DRM protected e-Book to another computer or any tablet devices/smartphones and/or eBook readers. In other words, all the purchased or borrowed books afterwards belong to that computer. You are able to download or transfer the same eBook to 6 computers and tablet devices/smartphones and eBook readers where either Adobe Digital Editions is installed and authorised with the same Adobe ID.​
