EBSCO ebooks Mobile App retired

EBSCO has retired the electronic resource EBSCO eBooks Mobile App.

For those who want to continue with an app experience, EBSCO eBooks are compatible with the Bluefire Reader or any other app supported by Adobe Digital Editions.

EBSCO’s reasoning for retiring the app was the following: “With EPUB files becoming increasingly advanced, EBSCO has invested in this format to provide a robust online and mobile experience. EPUB allows for reflowable text, display modification and increased compatibility with screen readers, so we are confident that the future of EPUB will provide the best user experience for our customers and your users. Since the current EBSCO eBooks app is not compatible with this advanced functionality, we have decided to re-evaluate our mobile offering.”

Please visit EBSCO’s How can I download and read eBooks on my mobile device? for assistance on reading EBSCO eBooks on mobile devices, including Bluefire Reader.
