In the right side of the window, you will see the Table of Contents.

  • select "Create an image PDF of the current chapter" and choose the chapter in the dropdown box, or

Some portions of Ebrary books can be printed from within the Digital Editions format: to find out how much of a given book you can print, open it in Digital Editions, and from the Reading drop-down on the top left, pull down to "Item Info" which will tell you how many pages you may print.

Remember: If you just want to browse/read the book from a computer or device that has online access, you don't need to download it at all- just page through it on ebrary. You can save it to your 'bookshelf' to refer to later, also.
