The email will contain links to download our app to access your book.
When you open the app, log in with your email address (no password is required) and all your purchased content will be displayed on the MY BOOKS screen.
Tap on the cover image to start listening to or reading your new book.

You can read or listen to your purchased content in the browser by logging in with your email address. The Browser Reader is available here.
Please note that PDF ebooks may only be read in our mobile and desktop app.

You need a verification code to log into the app.
After you enter your email address on the login screen, we will send a verification code to the email address you entered. The email will come from Glassboxx and has the subject “Your Glassboxx Verification Code.” You might need to check your spam folder to see the verification email.

ebook File Formats
Princeton University Press publishes ebooks in ePub and PDF formats. Some exclusions may apply.
ePub
An ePub file is an ebook that is readable on most devices, including mobile phones, tablets, and computers. Most of our titles are best viewed in a reflowable, ePub format. These may be read in our mobile or desktop app or in the Browser Reader.
PDF format is available for many of our books and is sold separately. PDF might be preferred by those who wish to read on a desktop or prefer a fixed layout, particularly with textbooks, highly illustrated books, or titles with mathematical formulas. These may be read in the Princeton University Press mobile or desktop app. Our PDF books cannot be read using the Browser Reader.
