EBSCO ebooks are available in either or both PDF and EPUB formats; JSTOR ebooks provide chapters in PDF only. PDF is typically a close facsimile of the print version; EPUB has the same content but is reformatted for accessibility. Basically this means that PDFs will be easier to cite (since you'll have the page numbers) and EPUBs will be easier to read on your phone.
You can open either version from the result list of your search (image on the left) or the detailed record after you click the title link (the image on the right):
Chapter download: Instead, we recommend you open the full text and download the desired chapter/s, or use the Print/Email/Save to do the same. You will receive a PDF that you can keep as long as you find it useful. You will also find that you can copy-and-paste and use screen readers on titles that are less accessible online, or in a full download.
Note that the page restriction on Print/E-mail/Save is per session - that is, with the title shown you can download up to 100 pages at a time, but if you find that you need a different section you'll be able to download it later.
PDF Reader: You may find the free Acrobat Reader DC worth downloading, if you don't already have it. It offers features like right-click highlighting and underlining, along with text search and sticky notes in the toolbar at the top. Note: this is a free tool that will try to sell you on the 'pro' tool subscription if you try to use the advanced features.
As noted in the video, JSTOR ebooks are downloaded in chapter PDFs. If an ebook is available to us in JSTOR there are no limits on users, the number of chapters a user may download, or the length of time they can keep the chapter/s.
