When you purchase your eBook online, you will receive an access code. If you purchase a printed book with eBook, it will come with its eBook access code inside the cover.

To activate your code, you'll need to log in to pearsonplaces.com.au. If you don't have an account you will need to create one at pearsonplaces.com.au. Once you have logged into pearsonplaces.com.au click on the 'Add product' button in your bookshelf. Type in your 12 digit access code and click 'Verify product now.

You can use access your eBooks offline by installing the Reader+ app onto your tablet and mobile. 

Download the Reader+ app

  1. Once you’ve downloaded the app, you can download your eBooks directly to the app. All your eBooks will sit on your Bookshelf.
  2. Click on the cloud icon on the eBook cover. This will now change to the icon with a cloud and icon pointing down. Be patient at this point, try not to tap the icon repeatedly as this can cause the app to freeze.
  3. When the icon with the cloud and arrow pointing down appears, there should be a green line that runs around the outside of the white circle. This shows the progress of the download.
  4. Next, a box with an arrow pointing up should appear that indicates the last step before the download is complete.
  5. Once the download and installation is complete, the book will have a green circle with a white tick. You will now be able to open your books.

All eBooks are accessed via Reader+. And because we take our author’s intellectual property seriously, we don’t provide pdf versions of the eBooks.

Firstly, try logging into pearsonplaces.com.au. If you still cannot log in there either, please contact our Customer Service for assistance.

If you can log in online, but you still cannot log into the app then most likely the issue is with your school’s security settings, which may be blocking access to the Reader+ app.

Your school’s IT Manager needs to adjust the security settings - this is called Whitelisting. Please contact our Customer Service team for instructions on whitelisting: help@pearson.com.au.
