EBSCO eBooks Thorium Reader App available as of May 19th, 2026

As of May 19, 2026, EBSCO has transitioned the EBSCO eBooks available through the Texas Tech University Libraries to a new Digital Rights Management (DRM) solution, and Thorium Reader has replaced Adobe Digital Editions as the app used for reading ebooks downloaded from the EBSCO platform. Thorium Reader is free to download and provides a more accessible and user-friendly way to read downloaded eBooks on your device.

This change only impacts full-book downloads from the EBSCO eBooks platform. The way you search for and access EBSCO eBooks will remain the same, and online reading and chapter downloads will not be affected. You can continue to read EBSCO eBooks directly in your browser without installing any additional software. For more information, please see our EBSCO eBooks Thorium Reader App LibGuide.
