z3kit VBK Downloader

VitalSource is an online library of textbooks and paper copies that simplifies the way students or knowledge-hungry individuals gets their hands on whatever books they might need. However, this is not a free service. IT requires an account, and you must pay for the books you wish to acquire.

The format used to deliver these books to you is VBK — the platform's unique format. Still, VBK seems to have a lot in common with EPUB and PDF, so it can be used outside the platform as well.

z3kit VBK Downloader simply helps you download books from VitalSource to enjoy them on any device, removing the DRM while at it.

The installation is pretty basic, but at the end of it, you must link your VitalSoruce account to it. Keep in mind at this is not a hacking tool, so you won't be able to download e-books without paying their fees.

Reading VS books can be done only with the help of a browser. But if you download your material, you are removing that limitation. Also, you are not depending on the platform's stability if you download your e-books locally, thus avoiding downtimes or other related issues.

In conclusion, VBK Downloader is a lightweight tool built around the VitalSource online service. Downloading books for later use is its main focus here, and if you are a VS subscriber, you might find it useful.
