Q: Can I access eBooks from home?
A: Yes! EBooks are like Elon's other online resources. You will need to log in to the Elon network, but then you should have access to all eBooks.
Q: How many people can read an eBook at one time?
A: The majority of Elon's eBooks are "unlimited simultaneous user", which means that there is no limit to how many people can access them at the same time. However, there are a few providers that are limited to one user as if it were a single print copy. But this is a small minority of titles!
Q: I hate reading on screens. Can I print out an eBook?
A: It depends. Each eBook provider platform has different limits about what can be printed/downloaded as opposed to viewing online. Some limit printing to just a chapter or a certain number of pages; others will allow you to download the whole text to your device, and then you can print it from there.
