Using a book that is in the public domain

In a couple of months, my students will be reading Jane Eyre.  Is it possible to upload the book (it is in the public domain) to Canvas, and is there some kind of ebook reader on Canvas?

Hi pengyou

Canvas does not have an E-Reader built in. Microsoft's Immersive Reader, will only offer text-to-speech for text you have added to Canvas, but will not act as a E-book repository.

Unfortunately, I do not think there is an E-Reader app available for Canvas, either! There is a discussion about this at Embed a textbook in Canvas?,  

The only real available option, as far as I know, is to upload a PDF version of the e-book. Perhaps others in this Community will have a better solution.
