Navigate eBooks

Student and Teacher digital editions (also referred to as "eBooks," "myBook," "edition," "lessons," or "magazine" among possible other names) include content from the product and a table of contents to easily navigate within the eBook.

Depending on the product and content, the eBook may default to a two-page view when first opened. If the two-page view is available, you can switch to one-page view using the More option.

Warning: If you lose your Internet connection while working in an eBook, any annotations that you continue to make will not be saved. Be aware that if the Internet connection is lost, a warning (like the example below) displays at the top of the eBook page.
