eTextbooks

Cambridge eTextbooks are designed with accessibility in mind.

The Cambridge eReader (Spiral) allows you to read on or offline, and our read aloud function enables you to engage with content in the medium that best supports your studies.

If you have access to an eTextbook via your library, you will be able to read online and use the text-to-speech functionality. To access additional features, including bookmarking, annotating and printing, log in or register for a user account.

Please find additional help and information about our eTextbooks below.
