Multiple eBook Links

Your dashboard shows multiple links for the same eBook.

This is expected behavior. Your eBook is available in multiple formats, and all available formats are linked from your dashboard. Each format has the same content, but your notes and bookmarks do not transfer across formats.

You can identify the format of your eBook by its title:

eTextbook: Title

Example: eTextbook: Calculus
