We have one ebook collection that allows you to check out ebooks and download them to read offline.  The (EBSCO) eBook Collection [1] has about 80,000 ebooks.  These are not bestsellers but have been published by small and academic presses.  You can browse here [1] or you might come across these books in our catalog.

Here's how to get them on your iPad, iPhone, or Android device.  You have to do these first 4 steps just once:

1. Set up an EBSCOhost account [2].  If you have used EBSCO databases, you might already have one.
2. Set up an Adobe ID [3].
3. Install the free Bluefire Reader app [4] on you iPad, iPhone, or Android device.
4. Enter your Adobe ID information into your Bluefire Reader app.

Log into the EBSCO eBook Collection [1] and find an ebook you want.

Click on "Download This eBook (Offline)" or "Download (Offline)" button.

Then click on "Checkout & Download" button.

Finally, click on the "Open in "Bluefire Reader"" button.
