Downloading usually takes less than a minute

The rate at which your book downloads depends on the size of the book, the speed of your Internet connection, and the syncing of any highlights, notes, and bookmarks you may have already added to the eText in browser view.

You can download the book more than once

As long as your Pearson eText subscription is still active, you can download the same book title from the app on different devices as many times as needed. For example, both on your phone and tablet, or on a new phone.
