Reading Online
You can read all of our ebooks online, without the need to download them, using the device's web browser.
Downloading
If you want to read our ebooks offline, you can download Adobe Digital Editions
The length of the download period will vary from publisher to publisher. Many can be downloaded for 24 hours at a time, particularly EBC, whilst others can be downloaded permanently.
Our ebook packages are generally not compatible with traditional ebook readers like Kindle, which use their own proprietary software. Cambridge ebooks however do work with Kindle.
The Kindle Fire, however, is compatible and allows reading online and downloading. See the Tablets tab above.
