What
is an eBook?
An eBook is a digital production
which has been created to be marketed on the Internet. Therefore
the size, structure and design have had to be correctly modified
to ensure correct visualisation, transmission time (download time)
and user possibilities.

Is
it easy to read an eBook?
eBooks are read from the screen of a computer, be it a Mackintosh
personal computer, a PC or a laptop. The pages appear on the screen
in the same way as they do in a book, and using the page navigator
incorporated in the Adobe Digital Editions and Adobe Reader you
can turn the pages one by one
or select any page you wish. The eBook allows you insert annotations
and bookmark certain passages or paragraphs so that they can be
easily found again. You may also underline or highlight the text
using a variety of colours. The Adobe Digital Editions and Adobe
Reader 6 or 7 tools it offers,
are very easy to use, as you can see from the information
we offer you about this programme. You may also test our claims
yourself by downloading the free
publications we have available.

What are the advantages
of an eBook?
• Universal access. Wherever you live in the world,
if you have Internet access you can buy the eBooks we offer, without
delays or shipping costs.
• Immediate availibility. Buy, download and read it is that
easy.
• Cheaper retail price. There is no paper, ink or any intermediary
distributor, therefore the price is lower.
• New tools. The electronic text incorporates the advantages
of an electronic file ( search, annotation and bookmark facilities) and
the interactivity of the web format ( navegation between pages, enlargement
of topics in line sections and bibliography).

Why do I get a certification
error after having installed the Adobe Reader
When you install the Adobe Reader
for the first time you must certify the product, this is
only necessary once. If your computer is networked and you have
a Firewall/Proxy server, you may have difficulties when certifying
products due to a bad configuration in your Internet Explorer or
due to restricted access in the configuration of you Firewall/Proxy
server. Consult you network administrator if your are unsure about
you network configuration.

What should I do if
the error, "cannot open EBX transfer file" appears when
I try to open the EBX transfer file?
You must certify the Adobe Reader. If you do not certify
it you will be able to download *.etd files which allow the Adobe
Reader to download books, but not the actual books. In this case
please contact our technical team at info@todoebook.com
Top
When I click on the download link there are no windows or error messages
appearing.
If you install anti pop-ups software, even the one included in the Google
or Altavista searching bar tool, you may be blocking the download windows.
Try to unable that sfotware provisionally until you download the eBook.
Top
Can
I use a different Adobe software?
No, you can't. To read encrypted eBooks you must install
Adobe Digital Editions, Adobe Reader 6 or Adobe Reader 7.
Neither
Adobe Reader 8, Adobe Acrobat eBook Reader 4.05, 5.05 or 5.1 works with encrypted
PDFs, so
it is absolutly neccesary to
install exclusively Adobe Digital Editions, Adobe Reader 6 or Adobe Reader
7.
