What are ebooks?
Several of the University of Utah Press's titles have been converted into ebooks, available to download as protected Adobe Digital Editions PDF files. Adobe Digital Editions is a free application for reading and organizing ebooks, and is available for both Mac and PC as well as several mobile devices. Books can be read both online and offline, providing a convenient vehicle for both scholarly and recreational reading.
The University of Utah Press also offers ebooks through Amazon (for Kindle) and Barnes & Noble (for Nook). We are in the process of adding more ebook vendors to our list.
