License

eBook purchasers can download content on up to five personal devices. eBook purchasers can access the content for the life of the product or, if the purchase was for a subscription, for the given length of the subscription. Access to purchased eBooks will continue to be supported if it is technically feasible to do so. System upgrades or vendor changes may affect access to previous editions.

Recommendations

Not recommended for use with tablet/smartphone operating systems that are not installed by the manufacturer. Not recommended for smartphones with screens smaller than five inches.

We recommend user to use apps on devices rather than web-based readers for better performance and usability.

For more information, including how to access your eBooks and download the app, visit aao.org/store. Navigate to the page for your product.
