Downloading EBSCO eBooks? Here’s What’s Changing This Spring

Starting mid-April, EBSCO is updating how full eBook downloads work. Adobe Digital Editions will be replaced by Thorium Reader, and a simple one-time passphrase will be used to activate downloads in place of an Adobe ID.

If you read eBooks in your browser or download individual chapters, nothing changes for you. This change also only applies to ebook downloads through EBSCO.

For everything you need to know please see our guide: APRIL 2026 – EBSCO eBook Download Update.
