Epub Questions

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

Epub Questions

Post by bookowlie »

Have other members encountered problems downloading epub books? I tried to download one and a high-level attack was blocked by my computer's security software. Is this common with books in epub format?

I have never heard of it before.

It would be hard for an epub file to contain a distributable virus since it is really just an HTML/CSS file. However, if your virus software is making suggestions, it's probably best to play it safe. There are plenty of books to review.

I agree with you that it's best to play it safe. I think it's probably just a firewall on the security software, but it's always worriesome when you get an alert.

Hi Scott! Thank you so much for your help in finding a good e-reader for Epub format. The Barnes and Noble Nook PC is up and running along with Adobe Digital Editions. I do have to ask where I find the book-seller ID for the book I downloaded for review though! When I open the file, I am prompted to enter the Book Seller's ID as well as a code?

Thank you for you patience, I am new to the e-reader.

I don't think you should have to do that. It sounds like the file that was uploaded may have DRM or otherwise be improperly formatted. In this particular case, I have already resolved the matter in response to an error report you sent through the review team page.
