UNC Press E-Books

UNC Press books are available in the most popular e-book platforms

UNC Press titles for which we have electronic rights are published simultaneously in print and digital formats. We have hundreds of e-book titles available for Amazon’s Kindle, Barnes & Noble’s Nook, the Apple iBookstore, Google Play, and many other popular e-book formats. And, UNC Press continues to expand its relationships with a growing number of e-book vendors serving academic and public libraries.

Please check the bookpages of the titles you are interested in to see if they are available as e-books, large print, or audio products. You’ll see links on how to order from the bookpage.

You can access a full list of our available e-books here.

Open Access Vision and Policy

At UNC Press, the broad dissemination of scholarship is core to our mission, so we enthusiastically share the vision of many OA advocates. Despite the opportunities afforded by digital formats, most traditional academic publishing models reinforce networks of privilege where scholars and students at well-resourced universities can read our books and journals, but anyone outside that network must overcome significant financial obstacles to access our publications. Expanding access must be a primary goal for any organization that claims to espouse progressive views of social justice and equity.

For UNC Press Authors

If you check WorldCat and find that your e-book is available in hundreds of libraries, please be aware that the purchase of a single copy by a consortia will be reflected by all of its member libraries, and in addition, libraries may indicate access to a book not yet purchased but available for purchase through special programs.

It may become possible to take advantage of e-book opportunities for older, out-of-print titles, as well as our more recent publications. To see if your book is available right now as an e-book, please check our website.

Whenever we have reasonably current contact information, the Press has attempted to reach authors of out-of-print titles in order to inform them of new programs and to update their original publishing agreements, where appropriate.

If you would like us to offer your book via our e-book vendors, such as Amazon Kindle, please contact us, and we will be glad to determine what may be possible for your title.
