Your dashboard might have multiple links for the same eTextbook. Each eTextbook link is for a different format.

The most accessible eTextbook format Cengage offers is the ePub. On your dashboard, the ePub version can be identified by the naming convention eTextbook: Title; for example, eTextbook: College Algebra.

An example student dashboard showing two versions of the same textbook. The first version is labeled "eTextbook: College Algebra" and the second version is labeled "eBook for Aufmann's College Algebra." The version with "eTextbook:" is an ePub and the most accessible for users of assistive technology.

The ePub format is also used in the Cengage Read mobile app.

Some older eTextbooks are currently only available in PDF format. If the eTextbook provided is not accessible to you because of a disability, contact the Disability Support Services Office (DSSO) at your institution. The Cengage accessibility team will work with the DSSO to develop an accessible alternative.
