Using CBC Ebooks - I strongly recommend the chapter download or Save Pages options illustrated, NOT the full download!

Enter page number, click download icon in the contents, and enter number of pages (or just download the whole chapter).

Audio Options: while no audiobook option is available there are tools that can provide an automated text-to-speech reader. ReadSpeaker TextAid is linked from Canvas and allows you to upload the PDFs and have them read to you. It also offers web reading apps you can download to your mobile device.

In Adobe Acrobat Reader DC you will have a read aloud option: https://www.adobe.com/acrobat/hub/how-to-read-pdf-aloud.html

Please email me either through Canvas or at sbadalamente@columbiabasin.edu if you have any questions or difficulties using our resources.
