I have not been able to open the file. So I could not have finished reading the roadmap to the end of days. I had asked that you let me select another book with PDF.

1. Epub

2. Firefly mobile Aurii secret (eReader Prestigio)

3. Yes

4. I can just immediately open it after downloading

5. I just download and open the file. I've tried it many times but I always get a one page 4MB file.

6. The file only has one page. Just the cover.

7. Free Nook App by Barnes and Noble is not available in my country (Philippines)

I've encountered a similar situation last time I was downloading a mobi file. I could only open one page. After reporting an error on the update of my review team page. I tried downloading again the following day and I was able to download the full working file.

I think the problem is the download link again.

Book: 'The Saga of Bridget and Amanda' by Carole Love Forbes

1. PDF

2. Computer, Adobe Reader

3. Yes

4. My computer automatically opens PDFs I've downloaded in Adobe. It didn't do that nor will it open it when I click on the file from my downloads list.

5. When I try to open it in my reader.

6. Adobe Acrobat Reader could not open 'The-Saga-of-Bridget-and-Amanda (1).pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

7. Yes.

Hi Scott. I have downloaded the e book in kindle format, and it opens just right. My only problem however, is that it is a sample, that is, its not the full book. I Have repeated the procedure more than once but comes as a sample each time.Kindly advise?

Thanks.

I haven't reported an error to the review team yet as I'm hoping I wouldn't need to do that. If I still can't download a working file today I'll just request for an extension and report the error tomorrow. Please help.

Hi! I've tried downloading the file over and over but it's still just a one-page 4.13 MB file. I hope I could download a full working file so I wouldn't need to ask for an extension at the review team page. Thanks!

Hello! I've already clicked the "report an error" and I was given one day extension. But nothing has changed. The file is still incomplete. I need a full working file. I hope the support team could help.

1. Riders on the Storm.pdf
2. Samsung tablet
3. Yes
4. I have gone to my files and verify that the document is there. I go to adobe and open the file normally. 5. This time I can not see the document in Adobe. I went to my files and clicked on the document and it says "cannot open this file"
6. Cannot open this file.
7. I also went back and tried to change the document to .doc but it would not download it as a .doc it really downloaded as a pdf but would not open

I have now gone to my MacBook to try to download the book and I get a 5 page document titled Riders on the Storm that is a description on how BOOKS At SCARLETT RUGERS puts together a book and calculates pages.

Hi

I downloaded with epub, I have only downloaded with PDF before now. wanted to try out epub and it says "unable to open file" after download. I thought the error was because the file had not been properly downloaded so, I deleted it so that I can download it again. Unfortunately i am unable to download it again as I was directed to this forum.

Please help.
