There is a line of links and tools for you to use while reading that is quite similar to the options available when reading EBSCO eBooks online in your browser:
You can use these links to download the book for offline reading (you will need a ProQuest account and will need to download Adobe Ditgital Editions to do this), download and save sections of the book as a PDF, add the book to your ProQuest account bookshelf, generate a permalink URL to get back to the book, highlight sections of the book for your own use, and create citations in multiple citation styles.
Many of these functions require the creation and use of a ProQuest account for saving your selections, highlights, and searches. You can create this account, or log into an existing account, by clicking on the "Sign In" link in the top right corner of the screen.
