Read on a desktop computer

On a typical computer running Windows, you first need to install an ebook-reading program, such as Adobe Digital Editions. On a Mac, epub files can be downloaded and opened in iBooks.

1. Click on the ‘epub format’ of your purchased ebook(s) to download it. Or press Download Ebook(s) to download a .zip file which you then need to unzip before proceeding.
2. In your Downloads folder locate and open the ebook, which will have a file name ending ‘.epub’.
3. The ebook may open automatically if you have installed Adobe Digital Editions or are on a Mac. If necessary, go to your ebook-reading program to open the ebook.

Transfer to your Nook/Kobo/other device

On a computer, first click on the ‘epub format’ of your purchased ebook(s) to download it. Or press Download Ebook(s) to download a .zip file which you then need to unzip before proceeding.

1. Connect your device to your computer with a USB cable.
2. On your computer open your Downloads folder and locate the ebook file, ending in ‘.epub’.
3. Drag or copy the ebook to your device’s documents folder (for Nook users: in your file explorer look for a new device on the left called something like MyNookColor. Inside MyNookColor there should be a My Files -> Books folder: drag or copy the file there)

Disconnect your device, and the book should be on your device’s home screen.
