UT Libraries buys ebooks from many providers. This is why our ebooks do not share a common interface or number of simultaneous users. While many ebooks are available to download and keep, others may have restrictions on printing, downloading, and number of simultaneous users.

Reading eBooks on Your own Device
All of our ebooks can be read online through the desktop ebook platform without using additional software. Many of the libraries' ebooks can be read on your own device. If a PDF or ePub is available, you can often download and keep for as long as you like. Some Kindle devices do not support PDFs.
Some ebook providers have unique software requirements. These vendors also typically limit the amount of time you have access to content. Check the providers' help page if you need assistance.
The Austin Public Virtual Library also has a wide selection of ebooks and audiobooks that can be downloaded to your device.
