Our eBooks are available via the Paladin Press website directly in both PDF and ePUB format. Which format you will download depends on your reading device:

• ePUB is a standard eBook file that can be read on most eReaders*, as well as on computers, tablets, and iPad/iPhone/iTouch with the correct software applications installed. (See here for more information about ePUB files.)

• PDF books can be read on any computer, netbook, or other electronic device that has the free Adobe Reader application installed.

* If you have a Kindle device, ePUB files will NOT work and the PDF file may be hard to read. We suggest Kindle owners check out our growing selection of eBooks at amazon.com.

Both file types (ePUB and PDF) will be available separately for all eBook titles we sell. It is up to you to select the file type that works best for you. In general, if you have an eReader or tablet device with the correct eReader software installed, the ePUB format will work best for you. If you will be reading the books on your home computer, laptop, or netbook, a PDF file would work best for you. If you are unsure if your eReader will support these file types, you should consult your device’s instructions, research online, or contact the manufacturer for more information.

Once your eBook order has been placed, you will receive an order confirmation with a link to download your eBook at the bottom of the e-mail. You have two (2) days to download the book from date of purchase. If you have not downloaded your file in that 2-day period, the file will be lost and you will have to start over by purchasing the book again.

The following are general directions for downloading eBooks onto some of the more popular devices. Please see your eReader instruction for more specific directions for your device.
