No Web Connection, No Problem

Need to use your eTextbooks but don't always have internet connection? Good thing you can take them offline. Here's how:

Get Online to Check Out eTextbooks*

Go to My Bookshelf and select the book you want to read offline.

Check out as many chapters as needed or check out the entire book to read offline.

*Reading offline is only supported on Safari 5.1+, Chrome and Firefox v.19 browsers, and only on computers or the iPad via our iPad app at this time.

Bookmark the Offline Bookshelf at www.coursesmart.com/offlinebookshelf for quick access to checked out materials in the future.

To read offline, go to the Offline Bookshelf in the same browser and computer you used to check out your materials - no internet required!

You can have up to 5 eTextbooks offline at one time. We'll prompt you to check an eTextbook back in when you've reached the 5 book limit.

Refunds are only available for eTextbooks that are checked in.
