Highlighting and Annotations

Safari may have settings that sometimes interfere with the overall functionality of creating highlights or annotations in the ebook. If you experience any issues, please try using Chrome instead, as it offers a slightly better experience.

Offline Reader

The Norton Ebook Reader supports offline reading on computers, tablets, and smartphones so that you can continue to access your textbooks where normal online connectivity through WiFi or cellular service may not be available. For more information, please click here.

General Usage
