Another issue you might encounter is a ebook being "in use". It could be that this book has been check out or is being used by someone else. The license for our ebooks stipulates that they can only be used by one patron at a time. If you inadvertently brought it up twice (or looked at it on another device or computer) it could think that you are multiple people. I would say close down your browsers and try again in 15 minutes.
If you need help you can always go to our eBook Help library guide!
