Download the whole book
But if you’d prefer to to download the whole book it is necessary to install a small, free app. This is true if you download an ebook from us or from any other major ebook retailer.
The software is free.
If you want to download an ebook, here’s the software you need to install first:
For iPhone, iPad or Android device (Ebook Reader app)
For PC or Mac (Adobe Digital Editions)
For Kindle Fire (Ebook Reader app)
The story is a little more complex. Some of our publishers distribute their ebooks without encryption (“DRM-free”). For those ebooks, you don’t need special software. You can just download a normal PDF or epub file. But those publishers are the exception. Read more about DRM-free ebooks.
