Downloading E-Books to Android Devices

August 8, 2019 Update

EBSCO ebooks appear to be downloading now to Android devices if using Adobe Digital Editions in place of Bluefire Reader.

July 30, 2019 Original Post

Most of our subscription e-books allow you to download the content onto your own device for 7 days. There have recently been problems downloading onto mobile Android devices.  Bluefire Reader has been pulled from the Google Play store.

Proquest has developed some interim procedures that can be used until a more permanent fix is in place.
This works well with books from Ebook Central.

EBSCO is still working to resolve the problems and have no solution to date. This affects books in their ebook Collection.

Please note: Downloading to computers and IOS devices have not been affected.
