How do I download / read an ebook?
Answer
You can read the ebook by simply using your web browser.
For downloading, It depends on the provider. Check the interface of the book. For EBSCO and ProQuest Ebook Central books (and possibly others), you will need to create an account first. Don't use your Brown user ID -- just make up another login and password. To read EBSCO books on a Mac, use Preview or Adobe Reader. More information about our ebook collections may be found on our Subject Guide.
