Copy/Print/Download Limitations. Some publishers set limitations on how much of an Ebook Central title you can copy, print or download in one session. These online allowances are per book and reset after a 24 hour period. As you copy, print, or download pages in PDF, your online allowances will count down. Once you reach your limit, you will have to wait 24 hours before the allowances reset for that title.
