We understand some students have been struggling to read downloaded ebooks because they do not have the right software on their device.
System requirements: Adobe Digital Editions is required for viewing the full text of downloaded ebooks on PCs and laptops. This can be downloaded from VLeBooks after clicking on help, if not installed already. An Adobe ID is required to read VLeBooks on either an Android or Apple iOS phone or tablet. The VLeBooks eBook reader app can then be installed from the Apple App store and the Play Store app.
System requirements: Adobe Digital Editions or Bluefire is required for viewing the full text of downloaded ebooks on PCs / laptops, Apple IOS or Android devices. They can be downloaded from Ebook Central. An Adobe ID is required.
Those are are our two main ebook providers, we do have others which will have their own requirements but in general Adobe Digital Editions is likely to be required. This software is free to download here https://www.adobe.com/uk/solutions/ebook/digital-editions/download.html.
If you have installed Adobe Digital Editions but still have problems opening an ebook file, please contact us.
We are having some problems today with access to Credo Reference, getting this error message:
This is happening if you use the "via UK Access Management Federation" link. For the time being if you want to access Credo please use this alternative link (which is 2nd on the library catalogue record),
We have reported the problem to Credo and hope to have it fixed soon.
