1. The ebook is in mobi format.

2. I'm using an android smartphone.

3. I've never used or opened a file in that format. I i clicked.download in that format by mistake.

4. I downloaded the e-book, went to my file manager and shared it to my kindle app and nothing is happening. It just says "Sending your document to kindle" and it's been hours and it hasn't come.

5. I suppose No. 5 doesn't apply to me🙂

6. Do you get an error message? When I say "open with" file manager says none of my apps can open that file type. Not even kindle or my OBC reader.

7. Did you read and try the "Top Tips" listed at the beginning of this post? Yes, I read the Top Tips but neither my kindle or my OBC reader worked.

Hi.
1- epub
2- android phone
3- yes
4- on the OBC site, I select open via OBC Reader, the book downloads to the reader, I open the app, select on the book and start reading. But this time, the book Entanglement - Quantum and Otherwise by John K. Danenbarger has not downloaded completely. Only 5 or 6 pages downloaded from different parts of the book.

1. epub

2. iPhone

3. No

4. If your answer to question 3 is "yes", please describe the steps you usually take to successfully open a file in that format on your device. If your answer to question 3 is "no" then please describe what steps you did try to open the file.

5. When following the usual process you use to open that kind of file on your device, or the "Top Tips" listed at the beginning of this post, at what step does it uniquely go wrong with this file? In other words, on which step, of the steps you listed as your response to question #4, do you run into trouble with this file but not other files of the same file type?

6. Do you get an error message? If so, what is the exact wording of the error message?

7. Yes, it didn’t fully download and I deleted it thinking I could go back and re try and I can’t

I downloaded the file and it opens on my ebook reader but the font is very small even after magnifying.
I will need to re-download on my computer.
