eBooks: Check In

How can I check in my EBSCO eBook or Audiobook before the end of the check out period?

Downloaded eBooks can be checked in before the end of the check out period using Adobe Digital Editions.

Audiobooks cannot be checked in before the end of the check out period at this time. Audiobooks files can be transferred to various devices throughout the duration of the check out period, and there is no way to ensure that the file is removed from these devices before it ends.
