Will BFL's E-Books Work On My Device?
Yes!
E-Books will typically be offered in either ".epub" or ".pdf" format. You will be able to see what format your book is in while being downloaded.
If you have a Kindle, you should know that it will typically already have the capability of reading E-Books in the ".pdf" format. If the E-Book you purchase is in the ".epub" format and you have a Kindle, you will need to convert the E-Book to a format the Kindle can use. To download a free program (called Calibre) that will convert your ".epub" E-Books so the Kindle can read them, click on the "Calibre E-Book Management System" link below.
After downloading Calibre, click on the "Using Calibre" link under the "Frequently Asked Querstions" heading below for simple instructions on converting your E-Books to the Kindle.
Should you be uncertain if your E-Reader accepts ".epub" or ".pdf", verify your E-Reader capabilities BEFORE purchasing an ".epub" or ".pdf" formatted E-Book. Click on the "Check Your eReader Compatibility" link below to see a table of eReaders and the formats they accept.
E-Books purchased for an incompatible E-Reader are not refundable.
E-Books On Your Computer
To download the E-Book(s) to your computer, you must have the free program Adobe Digital Editions, or its equivalent, installed on the computer that will be downloading the E-Book(s). This program MUST be installed BEFORE you download because it will do the actual downloading of the E-Book.
When you click on the blue 'Download' link to begin, a smaller window will popup with two choices, "Open with Adobe Digital Editions", or "Save File".
Click on "Open with Adobe Digital Editions", to begin the download of your E-Book(s).
If you are downloading to a computer, after the download completes, you may connect your eReader to your computer to transfer your E-Book(s) to your eReader.
Clicking on "Save File" will download a small information file onto your computer that may be used later to download the E-Book. This file is NOT the E-Book, but may be used by Adobe Digital Editions to download the E-Book. With Adobe Digital Editions installed on your computer, simply click on the file name and Adobe Digital Editions will download the E-Book to your computer.
