Launched in 2000, eBooks.com is the oldest e-bookstore on the web, selling ebooks published by local and global book publishers to a world-wide audience.
eBooks.com operates as a recommendation service and e-bookstore.
Sign up for our email alerts and you’ll receive regular reading recommendations in your fields of interest. Our recommendations are not AI-driven; they are personal recommendations from our team of real, human editors.
As an e-bookstore, we operate much like Amazon or any other online retailer, except that we only sell books in digital form. You can search or browse millions of ebooks. When you find something you’d like to read, buy it and you can be reading in a matter of minutes.
You can download our ebooks to any of thousands of ebook reader devices, as well as your smart phone, tablet or computer. Here’s how:
Download your ebook: Log in to eBooks.com, go to your bookshelf, and click Download next to your chosen ebook. Download the lcpl file and open it in Thorium Reader.
Enter your Reading Key: When Thorium Reader asks for an LCP Passphrase or Reading Key, copy the key from the eBooks.com download page and paste it into the app.
Note: You only need to perform Steps 1&3 the first time you download an ebook. For future ebooks, you can simply click Download.
If you have an e-reader device that is compatible with Readium LCP (lcpl files), you can then transfer the ebooks to your e-reader from your computer. (More about transferring ebooks via Thorium Reader)

E-Ink device: How to transfer an ebook from a computer to an Adobe compatible e-reader
You’ll need to have an app called Adobe Digital Editions (“ADE”) installed on your computer and device. Most of the ebooks we sell are locked (encrypted) by their publishers, and this ADE software unlocks ebooks.
It’s likely that ADE is already installed on your device, but that’s not true of all devices, so you should check here to make sure your device is compatible.
