Reading credits


Readers need to purchase reading credits to access textbooks on Bookstep. Some of our publications are free and they are available for your access without credits.

Our lowest credit plan starts at $0.99, so you can start reading your textbooks for less than a dollar.

Control the price


When you're in a full control of the textbook price, you only pay for the materials you need to pass your course.

We guarantee that you will never overpay by using Bookstep's pay-as-you-go reading system. In fact, you will always pay less that than if you were to buy your textbooks or rent them.

Our pricing


Bookstep gives you 15min. free to preview any title. You decide what you need to read for your course. You may choose from the following reading options:

  • Access digital textbooks on-demand and pay as you go. The lowest possible price is guaranteed.


  • Prepay for the Term. You will pay prepay for the access to chosen textbook for the entire academic term (semester or quarter).


  • Prepay for the Annual Subscription. You can keep the book in your Bookstep library for 365 days and read it even after you complete your course.



Never overpay guarantee


There is no need to rush through materials or read less in order to save on Bookstep.

We guarantee that you will never overpay by using Bookstep's on-demand textbooks.

You can upgrade to our Term Access or Annual Subscription anytime by paying only the difference from what you've already paid.

If you pay-as-you-go and reach a book's Term Price, we'll enable a free access for the remainder of the term (semester or quarter). Bookstep's term price is about 50% lower than the bookstore or rental price.
