eChapters?-
Answer:
As of June 18th 2011, CengageBrain migrated to a new enhanced eReader format. We will continue to support subscriptions purchased before June 18th via the old Sealed Media eReader for the full duration of the user's subscription.
Once subscriptions have expired for all users on the Sealed Media eReader, it will be phased out and CengageBrain will only offer eBook access via the new eReader. Please be sure to read the FAQs carefully if you have questions about either eReader.
-
Answer:
The first eChapter of each book and the table of contents (TOC) are flat PDF files. These items are included free to provide users the opportunity to review the content in a digital format. However, you must register to view a free eChapter or a table of contents (TOC). All rentable eBooks and eChapters are in rights protected format.
