Frequently Asked Questions:

How do I find e-books?

To find e-books from the University of Chicago Press you can use our search bar or the books dropdown to shop by subject, series, or course.

What if I can’t find the e-format I want?

Most e-books should be available in both ePub and PDF formats. If one of those isn’t visible on the book page, try clicking “more formats.”

Can I use the discount on rentals?

No. The promotion only applies to e-books purchased for unlimited personal use.

Can I read my e-books on my Kindle?


Kindle Fire users with certain third-party apps installed, such as Bluefire Reader or Aldiko, may be able to read their purchased e-books on their device. However,  Amazon's Kindle devices generally will not read protected files bought from stores other than Amazon. Individuals can download e-books directly to their computers or handheld devices and read them using free Digital Editions software from Adobe—available for PC, Mac, iOS, and Android.
