What devices can access my eBook?


Our eBooks can be viewed on up to 3 computers, for example: a desktop, laptop and work computer. When you open a PDF for the first time, it creates an association with that device and counts towards your limit.
  
Official device compatibility list:
  • All Windows based desktops, laptops and tablets (running Windows XP and up)
  • Apple personal computers and laptops
Q: Can I read it on my iPad?
A: While there is currently no official support for the iPad (but it is in the roadmap) there is a third party app that currently exists claiming support for our eBooks. There is a cost associated with it but no portion of it comes to us. We have nothing to do with this app or its developer. For more information, click here. Note: due to the lack of comprehensive support for JPEG2000 compression of images in iOS4, only iPads running iOS5 will display images correctly.

Q: Can I read it on my >insert other tablet here<?  
A: At the time of writing, the only tablets currently supported (iPads excepted - see above) are those running full versions of Windows.

Q: Can I read it on my Kindle/Nook/Sony Reader/Kobo/other reader?
A: Due to the graphic heavy nature of our books, and after much testing, we have found that any of the formats currently supported by most eReaders simply do not work well to visually driven texts. (Not counting the small screen size or lack of colour.) As it stands, we can not and are not offering versions compatible with these devices.
