I am on a pc and so the mobile app does not work for me.
I downloaded and submitted to my Kindle but Amazon has not approved it yet.
I would love to start reading, but as of now, I'm in the one hour timing.
Please help.
Thank you.
Amazon was slow, but I finally have it on the Kindle.

1. The ebook is in epub format.
2. I'm using my PC. (chromebook)
3. No
4. I have never been able to open epub books even with the correct reader (I have learnt that it is not compatible with my Chromebook)
5. see the above answer
6. No error message displayed (I just cannot open a file that has not downloaded)

Is there a possibility to get the books in Pdf format only?

1. Pdf
2. Smart phone
3. Yep!
4. I just simply click the "open" button on the notification saying, "download complete". When I tried to open it with apps like kindle and OBC reader I simply long press it on file manager and choose where to open it.
5. In opening the file itself. After clicking the "open" button or after choosing an app to open it with.
6. a.)WPS "The current document format is not pdf. You can send feedback to get help"
b.) Kindle " Invalid item", " Please remove the item from your device and go to All Items to download it again"
c.) OBC Reader " The selected file is not supported "
7. Yes!

Before I was able to purchase the gnomes color book to review my phone was stolen and I don't have a laptop so I haven't been able to get into my account. I have tried and tried to get it and it won't let me. What do I do?

The file was incompatible with my apple computer. I then downloaded the Barnes and Nobel app to my phone but cannot access the Bookclub copy there? I've now given up. Sorry.

I am having computer issues and I have also been away. Please accept my apologies and take back the book. I saw I had to get it from Amazon and did not proceed. I have no idea where it is if I do have it. Please remove me from this account.
Regards
