Below are the textbooks for 4.605x which are viewable in the e-book reader.

To display the text, select the "Contents" tab which will display all required reading for the lectures in the left navigation pane. To view the readings for a specific lecture, select the lecture heading and related chapter to view it in the e-book reader on the right side of the window.  To turn the pages, select the red arrows at the top.

Additionallly to hide or reveal the left navigation pane, click on the middle tab (with three dots). This allows you to collapse the left pane and expand the reading window to increase magnification for a better viewing experience.  

Please note that the page numbers listed in the contents tab (left navigation pane) do not correspond to the page numbers of the textbook displayed in the e-book reader pane (right window).  Please refer to the right window and actual textbook page numbers for the correct page numbers for reading assignments.

NOTE: We realize that a lot of you are having issues the font sizes in the e-reader.  While we work with the e-reader team to address this issue, please try using this link: TEXTBOOKS. This will display the textbook in its own window. Please let us know if this helps by posting to the official textbook and e-reader forum.
