Elsevier eBooks on VitalSource Customer Insights

1. Increasing font size doesn't fix this either.My library of books downloaded fine onto my chromebook, app is easy to navigate with cursor or touchscreen, pdfs were fine to open, read, increase size of text.

2. I have them on my elsevier bookshelf online but not on the app.No one can login to the app, despite having accountLogging in problem, opening the app in different devices problem, not opening when the internet is slow.. apart from those, I must say I love this app (especially bcoz I could listen instead of read, which makes it possible for me to multi-task).

3. 🙂I found the sign in hack! If you already have an online Elsevier account registered with email and password, make sure you know it thoroughly and that it is correct, if not reset pw.

4. Then open up App and proceed to "create account" instead of signing in with the exact email and password that you've originally registered with.

5. Kinda useless app then?Redeemed my books on the website according to the instructions on the inside cover of my book and used the access code no problem.

6. Created new acct as suggested by another user, but it doesn't sync any of my books (even though under the same email).With the audio feature, I just love.

7. You can always delete again if it isn't playing nice with your device.I had elsevier ebook+ account with my book in the shelf.

8. This app doesnt recognize the account, as when i tried keying in my email, it stated no account with the email.

9. Downloaded the app, no account exists for my email.

10. But anyways, it lets me read my books offline which is the main concern, and IS definitely worth a download.

11. When i make a new account with the same email, the book is not there.
