Digital Textbooks

Developed by MBS and leading academic publishers, the Universal Digital Textbooks program adds downloadable eBooks to the traditional new and used print mix carried by our Bookstore. This new product brings students a digital alternative that was previously only available to them online and outside of the Bookstore. Now, with this groundbreaking program, students are offered a cost-saving alternative — on the bookshelves alongside the new and used print versions — that delivers many interactive benefits.

How Do Digital Textbooks Work?
1. Pick up a Digital Textbooks Card for the title you need (Not all textbooks are available in electronic format at this time, the title base is constantly growing.) Make sure that your computer has Adobe® Reader® 6.0 or above, meets the system requirements listed on the back of the card, and that the Digital Textbook format is a good match for your study habits.
2. When you’re ready to use your Digital Textbook, go to the computer where you intend to use it (Remember that a Digital Textbook can only be downloaded once to a single computer), go online to http://www.digitaltextbooks.com/download to register. Once you purchase the digital textbook online, it cannot be returned. You have a minimum of 12 months from activation (expiration rules may vary by publisher) to use your Digital Textbook before it expires.
3. Follow the easy on-screen prompts to download your Digital Textbook. Don’t forget that you’ll need the latest version of the free Adobe Reader software in order to read your Digital Textbook. If you need Adobe Reader, you may download it from www.Adobe.com/Reader.
