eTextbooks are digital versions of print textbooks, enhanced with features such as high-speed search and electronic note-taking. Some are downloadable, some are viewed /read through your browser. eTextbooks contain the same content as the print version.
If an eTextbook is available for the title you are looking for, the option to add it to the cart appears. You choose the length of your subscription (on books you read online) depending on how long you need the book. If you choose anything other than Lifetime Access, you will only have access to the book for the amount of time specified. If the book is one that is downloaded, you have unlimited access.
You are emailed information on how to access your eTextbook as soon as your order has processed in our system. After placing your order, your digital product will be added to your My Account Digital Bookshelf within 24 hours.

The Pearson+ app is available for Mobile Devices using the App Store or Google Play and
Chromebooks that have access to the Google Play Store, giving students offline access
to their MyLab and Mastering eTexts.
I have a subscription to the eText for my textbook. Where do I find the eText?
What is the difference between an eText and eText 2.0?
Most, but not all, textbooks have either an eText or eText 2.0 version.
The usual way to open your eText is from the eText or eText 2.0 button in your Mastering course.
The eText opens in its own window. The Study Area menu often also provides an option to open the eText.
Another way to access the eText is from an open assignment window, as you are working.
Choose Resources (top-right) then select eText. Also, some assignment answer feedback may provide a link
into the eText to point you to specific content in the eText for you to read or review.

Why am I unable to access my PearsoneTexts on the App?
I have a subscription but when I try to access my eText I receive the following message:
Your account does not include access to this title. Please check with your Instructor, School
administrator, or contact Pearson Technical Support for further assistance.
STEP BY STEP RESOLUTION: When you try to access the eText from Mastering for the first time,
there can be a delay in eText recognizing that you have an active account.
You may receive an error message stating that you do not have access.
Wait 10 minutes to an hour then try again. (It can take longer in some cases.)
Go directly to https://login.pearson.com/ and sign in with your Mastering credentials.
You will see the book appear in your available titles.
If you open the eText here, you will then be able to open it from Mastering.
Why am I seeing an incorrect eText and Study Area for my book?
Mastering access codes are book-specific, meaning that they only work for the exact book title and
edition listed on the access code card.
Review the information below to ensure you have the right access code to access your eText and Study Area.
STEP BY STEP RESOLUTION: You have a book-specific access code that is for the wrong Mastering book.
Ex; A code for Knight, College Physics but not Knight, Physics for Scientists and Engineers,
OR A code that applies to a different edition of the textbook.
If you purchased a new book and the wrong access code was bundled with it, please contact us.
NOTE: If you have already done work in your course, please make sure to re-register with the
same username and password so that you will still have access to your previous work.
