I cannot open the OBC reader on my phone or computer. It gives me an error message: unknown connection error occurred.
I found the book on Kindle and Amazon, but it is for sale. When I chose it was for free. I am a pensioner, and I would like to skip payment as far as possible.

I have tried to purchase the book, but all the Amazon links connected to this book are down. The message is just, sorry, we can't find the page you're looking for. On browsing outside the club, the book cost $45.55 or 42 euros

1) The file format I picked was a bngc according to the site ie a Barnes and noble gift certificate

2) I am using my laptop, but have also tried on my phone

3) I have not

4) I tried clicking the link on the book selection page and making an account with Barnes and Noble, but it continually redirects me and refuses to allow me to log in, so I can't redeem the certificate.

5) I run into trouble when trying to log into Barnes and Noble website. My password and username are correct, because once in a while as I've kept trying it will work (provided I log in independently and don't follow the link to the bngc provided).

6) I do not

7) I tried downloading all the apps, but the link in the place to select a book always directs me to the website.

Maybe try and download another PDF reader program. I had this problem too. There are a few PDF readers that are free to use. Try looking in the Microsoft App Store. I personally use the Thorium Reader program. This program can open PDF and EPUB 3 files. I hope this helps.
