How does borrowing a book work through or ? If there are available copies, patrons can check the book out again. Can I renew a book that I have borrowed for 1 hour?

The book I want to read is only available for a 1 hour loan, but I can’t read the whole book in that time. Support will soon be added for Aldiko Next (mobile), Thorium (desktop), and other readers that support LCP DRM. When patrons check out a book for 14 days, they can either read the book through the online BookReader interface or download an encrypted file using a DRM-compliant book reader such as Adobe Digital Editions - the same technical protection software used by commercial publishers on their ebooks. When patrons check out a book for 1 hour, they can only use it through the online BookReader interface. (There is currently no waitlist available for books that only offer 1-hour loans.) Can I download an encrypted PDF or EPUB of the book?

Some books also offer a longer 14-day loan for these books, if there are no copies available, users can join a waitlist. What is the loan duration for Internet Archive books?īooks are generally available for renewable 1-hour loans.
