Schools looking for a digital counterpart to their classroom novels love Follett eBooks, in a 90-day, assigned-user access model because they help bridge the gap between in-person and remote learning as needed. Plus, they offer display modifications that enable students to adjust font size, lighting, or contrast on the screen. These embedded digital tools make it easier for students to annotate, bookmark, highlight and engage in deeper reading.

Using the 90-day, assigned-user access model requires your school to have Follett Destiny Library Manager or Follett Destiny Discover District Manager. Your eBooks will be available through a web browser or app.

If one or more of your courses have enabled ePub exports, you can view your course offline as an ePub file. You can download the ePub file and upload it into any eReader software for viewing, such as iBooks or Azardi.
ePub content is for offline viewing only; you cannot interact with course content directly, such as completing an assignment or viewing any submissions. In an ePub file, you can view assignment details, availability dates, and point values. Discussions include the discussion topic. All discussion replies (graded or ungraded) are considered submissions and must be viewed online. Additionally, you can view any embedded media files in the ePub. Any files that aren't supported in the ePub format, such as file attachments or PDFs, can be downloaded to be viewed in the file's native environment.
Depending on the course setup, the ePub may be organized by modules or content type (assignments, discussions, quizzes, etc.). When viewing by module, only items you have access to view in each module will be included in the ePub file. Locked modules list either their prerequisites or the unlock date, as well as the items that are contained within that module (though not the actual content of those items themselves).
If the course includes files that aren't supported in the ePub, click the Download Associated Files link [2]. Associated files download in a ZIP file and contain all unsupported files, such as media files and Microsoft Office documents.
