To download eBooks you need to have an eBook reader installed.
Many ebook platforms now have their own eBook reader app, but you can still use Adobe Digital Editions to access eBook and PDF files for offline reading.
- If you are a new user of Adobe Digital Editions, you will need to create an account via ByteBooks. This is the new platform which is now administering log-ins on behalf of Adobe Digital Editions.
- If you are an existing user of Adobe Digital Editions and have you been signed out your account or are accessing on a new device, you will still need to create a ByteBooks account, ensuring that you sign up with the same email address and have selected the option 'I have an existing Adobe account to migrate'.
- Then download Adobe Digital Editions.
- Sign in with the email address and password that you have registered on ByteBooks.
- You can now download eBook files and read offline.
Please note:
- Ensure that you have downloaded Adobe Digital Editions before downloading the ebook file.
- If you are a member of staff installing on a University PC or laptop, please install directly from the PC Software Center where you will find Adobe Digital Editions available. Administrative restrictions will block access directly from the Adobe site.
- If you previously downloaded any eBook .acsm files before installing Digital Editions they may not work (see Why is my eBook displaying an 'invalid token' error?). The files will need to be deleted, and re-downloaded to synchronise with the program.
