Starting in November 2024 the Bookshelf app will no longer be available for download in app stores in China. If you’ve already downloaded the Bookshelf app before this change, you can continue using it on the device where it’s currently installed. However, please note:
• You will not receive future app updates.
• The app cannot be reinstalled or installed on a new device after this date. You can still enjoy full access to your content through our online, browser-based Bookshelf at bookshelf.vitalsource.com, which remains available to all users. Thank you for your understanding. 
 
If you cannot remember your password, reset it here. If you do not remember what email address you used with VitalSource, contact support and they will help.
 
You can authorize up to two mobile devices, which means that you can read your content on two different phones and tablets. For help with managing your authorized mobile devices, visit our article on Managing Your Authorizations.
