Ebooks and Adobe Digital Editions software

EBL Ebooks offer the choice to view online, or download. Normally you will not have to download (see the wiki for details) but if you do, you need software on your PC.

As you cannot install this software, we are pushing it out to all staff machines in the Library. It should install next time you restart your PC. If you are intending to use the Download function for an EBL book, then you must first enable this software. This needs only be done once. Instructions:

a) From the start menu, click on Adobe Digital Editions

b) You will get a licence screen – click on I Agree

c) On the second screen click on Continue

d) On the third screen click on the last option, Don’t authorize computer. See note below for more details, and a screen shot.

e) On the fourth screen click on Continue

The fifth screen brings up Adobe Digital Editions. You can shut this down – it will be activated when you actually come to download an EBL ebook.

Note on authorizing computer. In step d) above we recommend the last option. In some cases you might want to authorize a computer for off-line use – see the wiki for more details on this.
