Online Reading for Professors
Why Online Reading Is an Advantage for Professors:
keep your students on the same page—literally—at a cost they can afford.
The Problem You Already Know
Shipping delays, “used” copies with the wrong pagination, different eBook versions in the same class… all of this makes serious textual work harder than it should be.
- Some students can’t afford the book until week 3 or 4.
- Others find PDFs or eBooks with different layout and pagination.
- You give a page number and half of the class is “close” but not exactly there.
What Online Reading Is (and What It Is Not)
Online Reading is Stockcero’s browser‑based version of our editions, created for university courses. It is not a random ePub or a Kindle file that reflows unpredictably.
- Exact virtual image of the printed book: same layout, same notes, same typography.
- Identical pagination: page references work for print and online students alike.
- Access from any browser: computer, tablet or phone—no special device required.
How Online Reading Helps You Teach
Online Reading was designed around the classroom, not around a generic “eBook” market.
- Citation‑safe: you can give page numbers with full confidence.
- Everyone starts on time: no waiting for mail or bookstore shipments.
- Works with print copies: students may choose Online Reading, the printed book, or both.
- Stable text: no surprise “updated” versions or changed pagination.
Student-Friendly Pricing
Online Reading is typically priced around US$9.99 for 1‑year access per title.
- Often cheaper than a used copy—and aligned with your exact edition.
- No shipping or import costs.
- Students can decide: Online Reading only, print only, or both.
24 Hours of Free Reading for You and Your Students
On each book’s landing page you will see a yellow button: “Login or Register and enjoy 24 hours of Free Reading”.
- Unlock 24 hours of full access to the complete book (not a short excerpt).
- Perfect for reviewing the introduction, notes and apparatus before adoption.
- Use it with a small group during the first week of class to test the format.

Quick FAQ for Professors
Is Online Reading DRM‑protected?
Yes. Students log in through our platform; the text is readable in the browser, not as a free‑floating PDF.
Can students still buy the printed book?
Absolutely. Online Reading complements the printed edition; both share the same pagination.
Can I assign only some chapters?
Yes. You can reference chapters and page ranges as you would with a print‑only adoption.
