If you prefer a printed text, it may be purchased from amazon.com or other bookstores. Links to appropriate sections in the textbook will be provided in the weekly topic guides on Canvas. An unlimited number of students may use the Freel Library ebooks at any given time, and they may be read using your web browser or the EBSCO Mobile app (available from the App store for Apple iOS devices and from the Google Play store for Android devices). If you plan to do most of your reading offline, the EBSCO app is probably your best choice, as the number of downloaded pages would not be limited. Otherwise downloads are limited to 100 pages per book.
