    How to read an eBook when you are not connected to the Internet (offline):

    You will need to download the eBook to your computer to read it offline. To do this you need to:

      • In Adobe Digital Editions you will be required to “Authorize” your computer. When you first open an eBook in Adobe Digital Editions you will be asked to create an Adobe account. Having an Adobe Account will allow you to access your downloaded eBook collections from other computers that also have the Adobe Digital Edition software installed on them. If you do not want to create an Adobe ID you can click on the “Authorize computer without ID” box when opening your eBook.
