Troubleshooting in the Pearson+ app

If you have an eTextbook plan, but the title you purchased is not in your library, here are a few things to check:

  1. Did you receive a confirmation email from us when you purchased your eTextbook in Pearson+? If not, your plan may not have been successfully processed. 
  2. Did you sign in with the same username you used when you bought your eTextbook? Check to be sure you’re using the same username and password for all your Pearson products, including Pearson+. You can find your username and password in your Pearson+ welcome email.) 
  3. If your initial access term has ended, you won’t see your eTextbook in your Pearson+ library. If you’d like to access it again, you can buy another access term through pearson.com.

Copy and paste functions are disabled in eTextbooks to protect the authors’ intellectual property. We’re investigating a solution that will allow students to copy small amounts of text, possibly along with citation information. But right now, this feature is not available in Pearson+.

Not all eTextbooks have the audiobook feature yet. To see if the eTextbook you have purchased has an audiobook, go to an open page in your eTextbook and look for the Audio (headphone icon) in the navigation menu. If the icon shows, audio support is available. We’re working to make audio support available in all eTextbooks in Pearson+.

Check your internet connection. Pearson+ needs an internet connection to open links to media and websites. If you don’t have internet access where you are, you can use a mobile hotspot or cell service to access all your Pearson+ study tools.
