eBook Instructions

< Return to Bookstore

Please follow the instructions below to view your eBook. We recommend that you use Adobe Digital Editions to view your eBook and have provided instructions for that reader. However, PocketBook Reader and Blue Fire Reader are also supported.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you wish to be able to install your eBook on other devices or on future devices, you must authorize it using an Adobe ID. If you install it without an Adobe ID, your eBook will only be viewable on the device you install it on and you will not be able to install it again. We will not reissue you a download link if you install your eBook without an Adobe ID.

Step 1: Get or Sign in using your Adobe ID.

  • To access eBooks protected with EditionGuard, you need a free Adobe ID. If you don't have one, you can sign up for a new Adobe ID or use an existing one. Just go to www.adobe.com, click Sign In, then click "New user? Create an account."
  • If you already have an Adobe ID, you can skip this step.

Step 2: Install Adobe Digital Editions on your device.

  • Go to the Adobe Digital Editions download page: http://www.adobe.com/solutions/ebook/digital-editions/download.html
  • Download and install the latest version of Adobe Digital Editions on your device.
  • If you're using Windows Vista or OSX 10.6, download Version 3.01 of ADE.
  • Follow the installation instructions for your operating system.

Step 3: Authorize Adobe Digital Editions. 

  • After you have installed Adobe Digital Editions and created your Adobe ID, open Adobe Digital Editions.
  • A Computer Authorization dialog box may open automatically. If not, click the Help menu and select "Authorize Computer...".
  • In the Computer Authorization dialog box, select "Adobe ID" under eBook Vendor.
  • Enter your Adobe ID and password in the following two boxes.
  • Click Authorize. Your computer is now authorized with your Adobe ID.

Step 4: Download your eBook.

  • Locate the download link for the eBook in the email you received.
  • Click on the link to download the eBook.
  • If the eBook doesn't automatically transfer into Adobe Digital Editions, you can find the .acsm file on your computer and open it in Adobe Digital Editions.

And that's it! Once you've completed these steps, you can access and read your eBooks in Adobe Digital Editions.
