I'm having some trouble opening my book to review. I'm wondering if maybe I can just get a PDF of the book to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance for your help!
1. In what file format is the ebook (e.g. epub, mobi, PDF, etc.)? epub
2. What device are using to try to open it? I tried both iPad and PC laptop to no avail.
3. Have you ever successfully opened a file in that format on that device before? Yes to both.
4. If your answer to question 3 is "yes", please describe the steps you usually take to successfully open a file in that format on your device. If your answer to question 3 is "no" then please describe what steps you did try to open the file.
Generally I get the epub file off of the computer and sync it through iTunes to my device. That did not work in this case. I also tried downloading to various epub reading apps on the iPad, which also did not work.
5. When following the usual process you use to open that kind of file on your device, or the "Top Tips" listed at the beginning of this post, at what step does it uniquely go wrong with this file? In other words, on which step, of the steps you listed as your response to question #4, do you run into trouble with this file but not other files of the same file type?
It stops at the download stage for both. It keeps saying the file isn't readable when I try to download it on the computer and doesn't even allow me the option to download on the tablet regardless of app.
6. Do you get an error message? If so, what is the exact wording of the error message?
Unable to update torrent for "Ravens-Peak.epub": torrent is not valid bencoding!
7. Did you read and try the "Top Tips" listed at the beginning of this post? If not, please do that before replying. Please name which apps your tried from the suggested apps.
Yes, I tried both getting Nook and Kindle. Neither solved ny issue. I also tried about 5 others as well.

When I started to read the book, I noticed that some of the pages are skipped or jumped. That’s the time that I turned the last page and realize that the book I downloaded is just a sample.
I’m trying to redownload the book but then again, the link just keep turning into color yellow. And today, I just read that my next status update is on January 8, 2018 and I’m not even started it yet. What should I do? Thanks.

2. Tablet
3. Yes
4. I usually click on the file then it opens in a new window. Alternately I can open PDF files using my eReader Prestigio or my kindle app. I tried all three routes.
5. When I click on it to open it an error message appears and it won't open. When using eReader Prestigious I managed to use the file manager to move the file into the 'books' folder of the app but it won't open when I click on it. Same applies with my kindle app.
6. Yes, I do get an error message. The message reads: "Cannot display PDF (PDF is of an invalid format)."
7. Yes I did read top tips and I tried eReader Prestigious.
Yes! You will, indeed!

11.05 Murders (epub version) will not download and the system doesn't automatically revert to the page that allows reviewers to select the version. Please help or remove it from my shelf so that I may select another or try downloading it via the other version (pdf) offered.
Thank you so very much for your prompt reply

2. iPhone 6s
3. not sure
4. I am able to view the file in the browser but I am trying to save it to an e-reader app so I can keep track of my spot and it is not working. I saved it to my iCloud files, then went in there and hit send to Kindle. It appeared in my Kindle, but the pdf is basically just the log in screen for the Online Book Club. It's like the permissions are set incorrectly for the download of this pdf.
5. The fact that I can download the pdf but when I convert it to a Kindle file it loses the text of the book and just gives me the log in screen for this website in the ebook reader.
6. No
7. Yes. Trying the Kindle App. Also tried iBooks and got a message that it could not open the file.

2. Adobe and MS Office.
3. No.
4. I tried opening it with Adobe and it was not supportive of it.
5. Reading the file is the point where it refuses to open. It has been downloaded by me.
6. Yes. Adobe Acrobat could not read the file because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged.
7. I was asked to use Barnes and Noble, but it is not applicable in my country.
