2. Top Ten Questions about VitalSource Bookshelf and the VitalBook® Format

   1) How are these e-books different from print books? Can both be used in the same course?

   • Search for terms and topics in the book and across multiple books
   • Share notes and highlights – with friends, classmates and even instructors
   • Customize your view – change font size, layout and even colors

   2) Can I work offline?

   Yes – you download your books, so you can work anywhere you can take your computer.

   3) Is it possible to print? How about copy /paste?

   The ability to print, copy and paste is built in. To protect publishers, the number of pages that you can print or copy is limited, usually to two pages at one time. Note: when you copy/paste, the works cited annotation conveniently stays with it, handy for citing sources.

   4) Can I have my books on two computers?

   Yes – to make it convenient, your books can be used simultaneously on two computers at any given time.

   5) What if I buy a new computer or my hard drive crashes?

   Relax! Unlike losing a print book, if your computer is lost, broken or you upgrade, you can contact VitalSource to update your license and your books will be restored.

   6) Do these books disappear at the end of the semester?

   No, you can keep your books in your Bookshelf library to reference later.

   7) Can I try it before I buy it?

   Look for the 7-day trial book option on the main information page for the book.

   8) How does the price compare?

   It varies by publisher, but books in the VitalSource format sell for much less than a new print book — as much as 50% less.

   9) What about tech support?

   VitalSource help is available 24/7 by phone — call 800-610-5382, or email: do.not.reply@vitalsource.com
