Library eBooks & Journal Articles Downloaded onto your Tablet or eReader: Adobe Digital Editions

eBooks downloaded in their entirety from eBook Central are in the ACSM format, which requires Adobe Digital Editions to view the file.  
IMF e-Library books may be downloaded as ePUBs, PDFs or MOBI files. ePUB files are also associated with Adobe Digital Editions, though they are more flexible than their ACSM cousins.

• ePUB files are also compatible with the following eReaders:
  • Nooks
  • Kobo eReaders
  • Sony eReaders
  • iPads/iPhones/iPods
  • Android Tablets, including the Google Nexus and Samsung Galaxy
