Ebook Central ebooks can be downloaded by current UWA staff and students for free. Most titles are available for 1 or 7 day loans; many titles are available for 1 to 365 days. If you are not already reading the book online you will be prompted to open the book before you can download it.

Once you have opened the ebook, click on the Full Download button in the Book Details tab on the left hand side of the screen or the Full Download icon at the top of the page. You will then be prompted to:
  1. Select your device.
  2. Install Adobe Digital Editions. If you have previously installed the software required to read the downloaded ebook file click ‘Done with this step’.
  3. Download the book, including selecting the number of days you wish to loan the book for and the download format if more than one format is available.
After your chosen loan period expires, the downloaded ebook will no longer be accessible. However you can download the ebook more than once.
 
More information about ebooks at UWA is available in our ebook guide.
