Questions
Before you buy
Do I need an account?
No. You check out with an email address, and the download links arrive in your receipt.
Can I read on more than one device?
Yes. The files are DRM-free, so you can copy them to every phone, tablet, e-reader and computer you own.
What if the file will not open?
Write to us and we will help you pick the right app, or send the other format.
Do you offer refunds?
