| Content | For each book, there is a limit on the number of pages that can be copied, printed, or page/chapter-downloaded per user. For most books, these limits reset after 24 hours. For Course Reserve titles, the limits do not reset. The information below does not apply to Course Reserve titles.For a user signed in to an Ebook Central account, the default limits within Ebook Central are as follows (not all books use the default limits):
- Number of pages from which text can be copied = 20% of a book's total pages
- The tally of copies performed in a book resets every 24 hours.
- Multiple selections copied from the same page count as just one copy.
- Example: for a 200-page book, you can copy text from up to 40 pages every 24 hours.
- Number of pages that can be printed or page/chapter-downloaded = 40% of a book's total pages
- The tally of prints and page/chapter-downloads performed in a book resets every 24 hours.
- Both "Print to PDF" and "Chapter Download" deduct against the same total.
- Example: for a 200-page book, you can print or page/chapter-download up to 80 pages every 24 hours.
- Some publishers have set different copy/print limits than the defaults listed here. However, as long as the title is not a Course Reserve title, the limits reset every 24 hours.
- If a user is accessing Ebook Central as a guest user (that is, they have selected 'continue as guest' instead of signing in to an account), the copy and print allowances may be lower. For example, the default limits for a guest user are 15% of a book's pages for copy and 30% of the book's pages for print/chapter-download.
For books that are full-downloaded:
- There are separate limits on the number of pages that can be copied and printed on the full-downloaded copy of a book(from within Adobe Digital Editions):
- Number of pages from which text can be copied = 20% of the book's total pages
- Number of pages that can be printed or page/chapter-downloaded = 40% of the book's total pages
- The tally of these copies and prints are unrelated to the tally of copies and prints performed online on the Ebook Central platform
- Copy/print is not available for Course Reserve titles when they are downloaded for offline use
The limits and the pages remaining for each of the above are shown on each book's Detail Page. To see this information while reading a book, click  "Book Details" on the side bar to display the details in the left panel.
