Redeeming Vitalsource Courseware Codes (Pearson+, Norton Inquizitive And More)

How do I access my eBook that is just a book and I have the eBook code?

Visit vitalsource.com to access your eBook.  Use the twenty digit alphanumeric code on your receipt to begin your eBook subscription. Note: If you are using an iOS device and have a redemption code, you may need to visit the site on a desktop device to redeem your code.

Redeeming a VitalSource code

  • Sign into Bookshelf using your email address and password or create an account. MAKE SURE YOU USE THE SAME EMAIL ADDRESS YOU USED WHEN YOU ORDERED YOUR CODE! Your eBook is connected to that email address. Do not use the app. If you are on mobile, login using the browser.
