EBL ebooks can be downloaded to a laptop or desktop computer for reading offline. Download options are located in the Download tab in the EBL Online Reader.
If you are working on a public computer that is shared by others (e.g., in your library), you should read ebooks online via the EBL Online Reader. On your personal computer, all downloaded ebooks are read via Adobe Digital Editions (ADE), a separate application from Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader designed specifically for reading ebooks that have been secured with Adobe's digital rights management (DRM) software. In order to download and read EBL ebooks offline, you must first install ADE.
When you download an ebook, open the ebook from the browser download window. ADE will launch automatically, or you can start it manually and then drag your ebook onto the application icon. Or, choose File > Add to Library and browse for the file on your computer. When you use ADE for the first time, you will be prompted to authorize your computer by entering Adobe ID information. If you do not have an Adobe ID and password, you can create a free Adobe ID. Authorization is not necessary to read EBL ebooks offline. However, if you wish to transfer ebooks between devices, you will need to authorize your computer and any other devices with an Adobe ID. For example, if you want to download an ebook to your computer and then copy it to your ADE compatible reading device, both devices must be authorized with the same Adobe ID. Adobe Digital Editions FAQ provides additional information.
In your personal ADE library, banners on the ebook icons will indicate the length of your offline access to a title and whether access has expired to any ebooks. If an ebook expires and you need additional offline access, you may download it again in the EBL Online Reader.
You can scroll or click to turn pages, or navigate using the Table of Contents. The Reading menu at the top provides additional viewing and navigation options. You can also search the text of the ebook, create bookmarks, highlight text and add notes. Printing and copying permissions are half of the allowances provided in the EBL Online Reader, which allows a user to print up to 20% and copy up to 5% of any ebook’s total content.
Note: ADE is compatible with popular screen reading software, and integrates with operating system accessibility features, including support for high contrast modes and resizing of ebook text. Additional information about accessibility is available at http://www.adobe.com/products/digital-editions/features.html.
EBL ebooks may also be downloaded to and read on ebook readers and mobile devices that support Adobe Digital Editions (ADE). A list of devices that support ADE is available at http://blogs.adobe.com/digitalpublishing/supported-devices.
Download options are located in the Download tab in the EBL Online Reader.
To download an EBL ebook to a mobile device such as an iPad, iPhone, Android tablet, or Android phone, download and install the Bluefire Reader app for Apple iOS or Android. When you use Bluefire Reader for the first time, you will be prompted to authorize your device with an Adobe ID. Authorization is required to read ebooks that have been secured with Adobe's digital rights management (DRM) software. If you do not have an Adobe ID and password, create a free Adobe ID. You will only need to enter it once.
Downloading will automatically save the ebook in your Bluefire Reader library, where it will be available for reading offline. Tap on a cover image or book title in your Library to read an ebook. Tap or swipe to turn the page, or navigate using the Table of Contents. Tap the center of the screen to view the Book Navigation Control Bar for additional options. You can also search the text of the ebook, adjust settings, and create bookmarks and notes. The Bluefire Reader User Guide provides additional information.
If an ebook expires and you need additional offline access, you may download it again in the EBL Online Reader.
