Full-text eBooks on the Ebook Central platform can be downloaded in both EPUB and PDF formats by authorized Concordia Library users, using their Reader App.

Download the Ebook Central Reader App.

This software enforces Digital Rights Management (DRM) on the downloaded files, restricting the time period during which the ebook can be used, as well as the number of devices (6) to which it can be transferred; there may also be restrictions on the number of pages that can be printed.

When a loan expires, the book file will remain on your device but becomes unreadable until you borrow it again.
