Cannot open file is the only league I receive. I've tried everything. Kindle doesn't work. Neither does the obc site, or app. I'll have to try and figure something out tomorrow

I double-clicked the download link

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?

I cannot get through the link.

6. Do you get an error message? If so, what is the exact wording of the error message? No error message.

7. Did you read and try the "Top Tips" listed at the beginning of this post? If not, please do that before replying. Please name which apps your tried from the suggested apps. - no apps to open yet. It is the link that was not enabled when I clicked it.

I can answer the questions below but it will be useless. I opted to review the book, but when I went to download the book the deadline was 6 minutes prior to when i would have downloaded it. I don't have time to read and review it according to my calculations. I sent a message on this forum last night. Please update your records to reflect the above. The fact that I was able to select the book 6 minutes after the updated deadline is not my fault. Please advise.

1. In what file format is the ebook (e.g. epub, mobi, PDF, etc.)? pub

2. What device are using to try to open it? iPad

3. Have you ever successfully opened a file in that format on that device before? yes

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. It works all the time. I'm sure it would have worked this time if it hadn't already been past the deadline when I selected the book.

7. Did you read and try the "Top Tips" listed at the beginning of this post? If not, please do that before replying. Please name which apps your tried from the suggested apps. I use the OBC app. It works for me.

I recently downloaded an eBook titled "Essential Gut Health for Women Over 50" by JL Service in PDF format. The file is password-protected. Can anyone send me the password so I can read the eBook, please? Thank you for your kind help.
Sincerely,
