If you see , someone is currently using the book. You cannot place a hold on a book in use. If you are waiting for a copy, you'll need to periodically refresh your browser to see if the book's status has changed. Firefox and Chrome users : If your ebook continuously refreshes on the book's detail page, so the page looks like it's "jumping" or "twitching," this may be due to a browser extension that needs to be disabled.

ProQuest has a list of extensions that users have reported as causing this error, including the Mendeley web importer in both Firefox and Chrome. Other options: If you were able to open the ebooks previously with no problems, start disabling browser extensions you have added since the last time you were in Ebook Central.

If the troublesome extension isn't already on the ProQuest list, send feedback to that page so they can add your extension and browser to the list. If you select "Current Chapter" under Print to PDF and get this message: Sorry, your entry exceeds your print allowance for this title.

Step 1. Try deauthorizing and reauthorizing Adobe Digital Editions In many cases, deauthorizing and reauthorizing Adobe Digital Editions, can resolve the issue. Here is how to deauthorize and reauthorize Adobe Digital Editions. To do this you have to return the book and check it out again; there is no other way to "swap" one format for another. Books checked out via Adobe Digital Editions can be returned early.

Books checked out using other ebook readers can not. While some of the items in Open Library are scanned by us, others are scanned by various other projects. If the item is from Google Books you can report a scanning error here. For items with minor errors, you can note this in the item's Open Library record.

For items with major errors, please let us know via the Contact Form which you can access by clicking the "Report A Problem" link at the bottom of the item's page.

This may happen when people have tried to read a book that is not available in BookBrowser format. Sometimes this happens by following a malformed link. Go to the book's record page here is an example and make sure there is an eBook version of the book available to borrow.

You may also be accidentally trying to read a book that is only available to the print disabled. You can see this set of frequently asked questions for more about this program. If you can not view the book and you can't use the pull-down menu in the upper right corner under your username, you may have to turn on Compatibility mode in Internet Explorer. Here is more information about how to turn on Compatibility Mode.

Sometimes the items in Open Library may have bad metadata. Usually this happens because we made a link between an Internet Archive item and an Open Library record and that linkage was incorrect.

When you type in an author's name in the author box, you must wait for a drop down menu to appear. Our database checks to see if we already have the author you've entered in our database. The list will contain authors with the same or similar name to the one you've typed in. Once the drop down appears, you must click on an author name, even if there is only one. If you do not click on an author name, none will be entered and the record, once saved, will list no author, only "author unknown.

You cannot delete records. Click on the "Report A Problem" link at the bottom of any page and send us a message with the link or OL identifier. Please be very careful in suggesting deletions. We only want to delete works that are exactly duplicated elsewhere in Open Library. Last edited by raybb. July 23, History.

The sign-up page is saying that every username is taken. How is that possible? I did not receive the verification email. I did not receive the verification email because I mistyped my email address when I signed up.

I am being asked for my Adobe ID and I'm not sure how to get one. I can't move my book from one device to another. I deleted my ebook from Adobe Digital Editions instead of returning it.
