You can also bundle your eTextbook with Study & Exam Prep. When you check out, you can make a one-time, up-front payment for your eTextbook, or you can choose to pay monthly.

When you purchase an eTextbook subscription, it will last 6 months. You can renew your subscription by selecting Extend subscription on the Manage subscription page in My account before your initial term ends. If you extend your subscription, we'll automatically charge you every month. If you made a one-time payment for your initial 6-month term, you'll now pay monthly.

Channels doesn't replace traditional textbooks or eTextbooks. It's an additional tool to help you with your studies, and it can be used with Pearson textbooks or non-Pearson textbooks.
When you choose a Channels subscription, you're signing up for a 1-month, 3-month or 12-month term and you make an upfront payment for your subscription.
