How to download ebooks from Ebook Central
To download an ebook, you will need:

To download an ebook:
- Select the "Download Book" option and choose the device you wish to read on.

After you download your ebook:
- You may choose to transfer your ebook to a compatible e-reader or mobile device. ProQuest suggests using Bluefire Reader which is available for iOS and for Android devices.
- You will still need to use Adobe Digital Editions to transfer the ebook.
- Adobe provides instructions on how to transfer the ebook from computer to device.
Downloading Adobe Digital Editions
A couple of our e-book packages require Adobe Digital Editions (ADE), a free extension to Adobe Acrobat Reader, to download them. To install and use ADE, follow these steps:
- Download Acrobat Reader, if not already installed.
- Download Adobe Digital Editions from Adobe's website.
- Create an Adobe ID and authorize your copy of ADE.
ADE is pre-installed on Library computers.
An Adobe ID is not necessary to read e-books on the library computers, but it is required to download ebooks to a personal device. If you are using ADE on your personal computer (not a Library or public computer), Adobe recommends authorizing ADE with an Adobe ID. Your Adobe ID is free and completely separate from your NetID or other UR accounts.
