Welcome to the e-books research guide! The University of Delaware Library provides access to a growing collection of over 330,000 electronic books. Although individuals may purchase e-books through Amazon.com, several major publishers do not offer e-books for use by libraries. 

This guide is intended as an introduction and access point to e-books at the University of Delaware Library. If you have questions, please IM a reference librarian using the Ask a Librarian box or stop by the Reference Desk.

Most University of Delaware Library e-books are available in either .html or .pdf format.  If your e-reader or tablet has a web browser to read .html documents and can also support  PDFs, then you can access most Library e-books.  Follow instructions provided in the manufacturer's user guide to learn how to download e-books onto your specific device.
