Help opening ebook files (epub, mobi, PDF, etc.)

[Dolor]

Hi Good Day . It breaks my heart when I received an e-mail from [email protected] saying that:

“URGENT - Reviewer Account at Risk of Banning (ACTION REQUIRED)

WARNING: You were given a free book in exchange for a review. These are not regularly free books. Someone is paying for the cost of the book to enable you to get a free copy *in exchange for* a review. According to our records, you accepted this offer and the book was thus made available to you and all associated costs already paid.

Our records indicate that you have not updated the status of your review in about 18 days.”

I’m new in the Review Team and this is my first time to review a book but unfortunately, I’m facing some trouble in downloading the book. The book I’m trying to download is Who Told You That You Were Naked? by William Combs.

Last December 2, 2017, I posted in the Forum saying this:

“Hi Good Day.

I have a problem in downloading the file that’s why I didn’t update my status if I successfully downloaded it. When I tried to click/ press the link, it’s just turned into color yellow. My phone is Iphone5s and the file format I tried to download is in epub. What should I do?

Thank you and I hope you can help me with this problem. ”

Unfortunately, Nook is not available in our country (Philippines). I’m having a trouble in verifying my account in Amazon & Kindle. I don’t have a desktop to use Calibre. Lastly, I’m using Iphone5s, and - eReader Prestigio is for Android.

Is there anyway to solve this problem?
What should we do?
Can’t you just e-mail the book directly to the reviewer?
Can we use IBooks instead of the Apps mentioned in the topic “help opening an ebook file”?

Thank you very much and I wish that you’ll understand the situation. More power and Godbless.

I'm sorry to hear that you went through this hardship. There are lots of free IOS ereader apps other than Kindle and Nook. My sister in the Philippines is using Wattpad. Downloading through epub file format is not a problem. You can also try Google Play Books, Overdrive, Bluefire Reader and Kobo. Pictures are not that important in book reviewing. If you can't download those apps I mentioned above, Try downloading Comixology and Chunky.

I hope this helps.

Tried to open the ebook," The Right to Nominate", in word and pdf.
My first time opening an ebook
I am using firefox
The system will not allow me to access the select tab to choose another book.
An error message appears saying an error cannot upload.

[Addison57]

I still cannot open right to nominate in a adobe format. Error message appears saying cannot open because it was not coded correctly or sent as an email attachment. This is my 6th time trying.

Hi, Denny,

I am using a smartphone and Kindle is not available here in Saudi Arabia too.

When I get to the order page promt and press it, what Comes up is the Amazon Com page. This is where I am stuck.

Since we can't view and open books on Kindle because of it's unavailability in our places, we can gain insights about the book by scrolling down to the DESCRIPTION of the book and even down below where the book reviews are written. By reading them, we can get ideas that we can use to comment about the BOTD on social media. Of course, make your own words from their words and don't just copy their reviews.

I hope this helps you up from where you are stucked.

You should convert the file to the correct format via the Free Calibre App.

I usually use UB Reader which opens all file types and after download I just click on it and the book is immediately imported. This time the file did not work so I downloaded Kindle and moved the file to book folder but it just won't work.

Hi there, I have kindle unlimited from Amazon on my iphone and computer - does anyone know how to copy books from the kindle app to an e-reader which does not have apps? Seems like there are no options to save and you just have to read on the kindle app....which I can't get for e-reader... anyone?
