How to Use Our Ebooks

Which File Do I Download?

Which File Should I Download?

We offer four different kinds of ebook file for you to download. Which one you pick depends on which ereading device and ereading software you’re using.

  • -

    Amazon Kindle devices and software (but not the Kindle application for iPad): download the azw3 file. You can optionally download the Kindle cover thumbnail if you’d like the ebook cover to appear in your library. (Thanks to a long-standing bug in the Kindle software, side-loaded ebooks don’t display cover images automatically. Complain to Amazon.)

    All other ereaders: download the epub file. This epub2-compatible file will work in all ereaders except Kindles. While this file will also work on Kobo, it’ll look pretty bad; please download our special kepub file for Kobo devices and software.

    Other ereaders: download the epub file. This compatible file has been prepared to work in all ereaders, with the exception of Kindles and extremely old ereader devices. N.b.: while this file will also work on Kobo devices and software, it will lack some functionality and look worse than the kepub file there.

    For advanced ereaders like Readium, and for readers who like bleeding-edge technology: download the advanced epub file. The advanced epub file isn’t compatible with most ereaders yet, so only download this file if you know what you’re doing.
