Downloading E-Books

You are here: Library / Guides & Help / Downloading E-Books

Getting Started

In order to download and read e-books from EBSCO you will need the following:

  • A supported e-book reader app:
    • Adobe Digital Editions on Mac or PC
    • Bluefire Reader on iOS, Android, or Amazon Fire
  • An Adobe ID to authorize your e-book reader app
  • A personal EBSCOhost account to track your check-outs (you’ll be prompted to create this the first time you check out an e-book)

Step-by-step

  1. To access the e-book collection, go to the the library homepage, look below the catalog search bar for the “Other Catalogs” listed, and click on “E-Books”.
  2. If you are off-campus, log in with your Covenant ID.
  3. Find the e-book that you would like to download and click the “Download” button.
  4. Log in to, or create, your personal My EBSCOhost account.
  5. Select a checkout period and download format (if applicable), and then click the “Download” button.
  6. Open the e-book in your supported e-book reader app. Depending on your system, you may be prompted to do so automatically, or you may have to find the downloaded “.ascm” file and manually open it.
