Mobile Reader Help

iPad

  1. If you are viewing this page on your iPad, when you download the file the iPad will offer to open it in your eBook reader of choice, which could be iBooks or any number of other epub readers. Safari will not download the file unless you have an App which can open it.
  2. You may also download the eBook on your computer, add it to your iTunes Library, and it will be transferred to your iPad next time you synch the device with your computer.

Nook

You can download the eBook either on your computer, or directly on the Nook if it's connected to the Internet.

Using your computer:

  2. Connect your Nook device to your computer using the USB cable. The Nook should appear as a mounted volume on your computer.
  3. Locate the Documents folder in the Nook's My Files folder, and copy the epub file you downloaded to the Nook's Documents folder.

Directly on the Nook:

  2. The downloaded file will be stored in your My Downloads folder.

Click Add to Library, and locate the downloaded file in a folder under My Stuff in the menu.

Kindle

You can download the eBook first to your computer and then to your Kindle or Kindle Fire, or directly to the Kindle Fire if it's connected to the Internet.

Using your computer:

From the Kindle Fire User's Manual:
Please note that personal content transferred to your Kindle Fire is only stored on your device and not archived in the cloud.
To transfer content from your computer to your Kindle Fire, do the following:

  1. Connect your Kindle Fire to your computer with a micro-USB cable.
  2. Slide the arrow from right to left to unlock your Kindle.
  3. Open the Kindle Fire drive on your computer. Your Kindle Fire will appear as an external storage drive or volume on the computer's desktop. Note that Kindle Fire is not usable as a device while connected to your computer as a storage drive or volume.
  4. Drag and drop your content into the applicable content folder.
  5. When you are done transferring files, press the Disconnect button at the bottom of the Kindle Fire screen and eject it from your computer, then unplug the USB cable.
