We offer many of our books in the EPUB, MOBI, and PDF formats.
EPUB is a format compatible withmany smartphones and eReader
devices. MOBI is the native format for all Kindle eReaders and
tablets.PDFs can be opened on any Mac or PC with the free Adobe
Reader software (or Adobe Digital Editionsif the PDF is protected
with Digital Rights Management software) as well as on many
smartphones. Mostof the eBooks we offer can be viewed on more than
one device. If you download the eBook file to yourcomputer, you can
then copy it to a portable eReader, Kindle, Nook, Android phone or
tablet, iPhone oriPad, or another smartphone. Keep reading for more
information on which format is best for you.

Macs and PCs can read files in both EPUB and PDF formats. For
more information on purchasing,downloading and reading eBooks from
our store on your Mac or PC, see the PC/Mac section of
thisguide.
Most tablets and eReaders (including the iPad and Nook) and
smartphones (including the iPhone andAndroid) can read eBook files
in the popular EPUB format. Most can also read eBooks in PDF,
althoughPDF eBooks don't always display well on smaller screens. To
the right you'll see links to specificinstructions for using our
eBooks on the most popular eReaders and smartphones.
Kindle eReaders use Amazon's somewhat proprietary MOBI file
format. MOBI-formatted books can alsobe viewed on iPhone, iPad, and
BlackBerry devices, as well as personal computers, via the Kindle
app.Other eReaders, however, such as the Nook and Sony Reader,
cannot read Kindle's MOBI eBooks.Kindles can also read
PDF-formatted eBooks. To learn about using MOBI and PDF files on
the Kindle,see the Kindle section of this guide.
If versatility is important to you, choose the EPUB version of a
book when available; it's compatible withalmost all devices and
will look best on the screen of your specific device. Note that
EPUB files will notwork on the Kindle unless they are first
converted to MOBI. If you have a Kindle, we recommenddownloading
the MOBI version of our eBooks, when available. If MOBI is not
available, choose the PDFversion. If you would prefer to download
the EPUB and convert it for use on your Kindle, an internetsearch
can provide you with several options, such as using a program
called Calibre to do theconversion. The actual conversion process
is beyond the scope of these help pages.
If page fidelity is important to you, choose the PDF version of
a book; it exactly reproduces the originalprinted page and can be
viewed with the popular Adobe Reader software on many devices.

Can I Share My eBook Files?
When you purchase an eBook, that copy is designed for your own
personal use. While you can copy aneBook file for use on another
device you own, such as a portable eReader or smartphone, you
cannotshare copies with other people. You also cannot sell used
eBooks; ownership is yours only, and cannotbe transferred.
Most of our eBooks are sold without DRM and can easily be copied
to up to six devices. You cannotshare these eBooks with other
people, however. Our non-DRM eBooks are embedded with
personalizedwatermarks that help us identify any unauthorized
copies found online. For more information onwatermarking, see our
Watermarked eBook FAQ.
To protect against unauthorized copying, some of the eBooks we
sell as PDFs include digital rightsmanagement (DRM) technology.
This technology limits the use of the purchased eBook(s) to
amaximum of six devices. Adobe Digital Editions is required to view
these DRM-protected files.
