Why can't I download an entire eBook on certain eBook platforms?
Answer
Depending on the publisher, some eBooks will have a limit on the number of pages that can be copied, printed, downloaded, and emailed. You may be required to create and log in to your account on the provider's platform to download content. Details on eBook permissions can typically be found on the eBook title's landing page.
For more information, please refer to the eBook permissions for some of our eBook providers:
