Setting up an eBook Central Account

To use some of the Ebook Central functions, users must create a free Ebook Central account. The functions that require an Ebook Central account include:

  • Downloading entire books to Adobe Digital Editions (desktop/laptop computer) or Bluefire Reader (tablet/smartphone),
  • Adding a book to a user's Ebook Central bookshelf, and
  • Highlighting, annotating, and bookmarking pages.

To sign up for an account click "Sign In" in the upper right corner on any Ebook Central screen.

Choose "create an account" and fill out the required fields and accept the terms and conditions. 

Downloading and Printing

Downloading ebooks to Desktop, Laptops, tablets, and smartphones - both Android and iOS.

Users must create an Ebook Central account and download the EBook Central Reader App in order to download ebooks.

Ebook Central allows users to download entire books for a specified number of days at a time (typically 7 to 30 days). After that time limit, the ebook file expires.
