6. How do I download ebooks from this site?
Add them to your shopping cart, and then download them from the final page once you complete checkout. Some ebooks are free, and you will not be charged. Some ebooks do have a cost, and these are always clearly marked. There is never any shipping cost, of course, since you are downloading your ebook, not having it shipped.
To download, click on the hyperlinked ebook Title. If you have Adobe ebook reader installed, the file will open automatically, and you can save it in a desired folder on your C drive. If you don't have Adobe ebook reader installed, a new window will open allowing you to save this file at a desired location on your C drive. Before opening this file, you must install Adobe ebook reader. It is free software, very safe, and very commonly used.
