Purchase, download, study

Download digital versions of your textbooks from within your VitalSource^TM Bookshelf application, directly from publisher websites, or from your campus resellers.

The books are digital and are delivered in the state-of-the-art VitalBook (.vbk) format, so they search, annotate, and organize better than paper books and better than other digital formats.

When you buy a book, it downloads to your hard drive (just like your music files), so it is yours to take where you want and use when you want. You don't have to be tethered to a network to study. In case of viruses or other unforseen problems, though, you are covered: when you restore your hard drive, all you have to do is enter your username and password, and the books will restore!
