I downloaded my eBook but can’t find the file
If you’ve downloaded your eBook but can’t find it on your computer, please try the following:
I downloaded from a link in an email
If you use an email program on your computer, it sometimes downloads files into a different folder from the one your web browser uses. Please check your program’s settings to find out where it downloads files if you are not sure.
I downloaded from a link in a web browser
On desktop computers, your web browser normally downloads files to a Downloads folder. Please check your web browser’s settings to find out where this is if you are not sure.
I use an iOS device (iPad, iPhone)
iOS automatically recognises eBooks in epub format when you download them and prompts you to open them in the iBooks app, if it is installed. You should see a bar across the top of your screen as shown below – click on Open in iBooks to open your ebook and add it to your library.
File formats
ePub
We provide all our eBooks in ePub format. ePub files can be read by all eBook apps and almost all e-reader devices. The only exceptions are the earliest editions of the Amazon Kindle e-reader (Kindle 1, 2 & 3).
mobi
We are no longer providing our eBooks in mobi format. If your eBook reader only reads mobi files, there are many websites that convert ePub to mobi free of charge. We recommend Convertio.
File extensions
A file extension is the part of a filename after the . e.g. .txt in file.txt. If the extension is missing your computer will not know which program to use to open the file.
Some operating systems hide the extension of a file by default. To show them, try this for OS X , and this for Windows.
If your device says it cannot recognise the eBook file, please check it is in the right format for your device and that the file extension is present.
If your ebook files do not show an extension or have an extension which is not .epub or .mobi, and your software cannot recognize or open the files, try renaming the file with .epub or .mobi as the extension, as this often enables the file to be readable.
