Do I need special software or hardware to read ebrary books online?
ebrary requires you to use one of their ebrary Readers to view and interact with documents and for expanded functionality. The ebrary QuickView Reader runs within your web browser and works with Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. The ebrary Plug-in Reader runs inside your web browser and is available on Windows and Mac OS. You download and install the Plug-in Reader as a browser plug-in. The Plug-in Reader performs essentially the same tasks as the ebrary QuickView Reader. Both are available from the ebrary website.
