E-Books

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the file format for NAEYC’s e-books?
NAEYC’s e-books are all in the EPUB file format.

Which devices are most compatible with NAEYC’s e-books?
Any desktop, tablet, or mobile device that has a major EPUB reader should work (with the exception of Amazon Kindle).

For the best quality, we recommend using Apple iBooks (for macOS and iOS devices), Adobe Digital Editions and Calibre (for desktop), and Google Play Books and Aldiko (for Android devices). 

Why can’t I read NAEYC’s e-books on my Amazon Kindle?
Amazon’s Kindle does not support the popular EPUB file format. Since Amazon uses their own file extension for e-books, most users have to convert their EPUB files to make it readable on their Kindle devices.

How can I download my purchased e-books?

  1. Go to “My Downloads” (login required): members.naeyc.org/eweb/DynamicPage.aspx?webcode=MyDownloads
  2. Locate your file and click on the “Download” icon. This will prompt the file to download to your device.
  3. Once the download is finished, open the file to begin reading the publication. The file will open on your device’s e-reader.


How long will my purchased e-book be available in my account?
All downloadable products will be stored in the “My Downloads” area of your Eweb account indefinitely.

What is NAEYC’s refund policy for e-books?
We do not offer refunds for any digital products (including e-books) at this time.
