Note: Our store has changed. Logins and purchases from before Sept. 3, 2020 are no longer available. If you have a problem with an ebook purchase from the old store, please contact our office.
The following tips are for the new store.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT eBOOK READER
There are many choices of eBook readers on the market. The most popular are Kindle by Amazon and iBooks by Apple. But which one is right for your device? Here are some suggestions.
-
On a PC: We suggest the Amazon Kindle app for Tools for Teaching 4th edition. This and Apple iBooks are the only apps that support the 4th edition's "fixed format" viewing experience. Once you download the Tools for Teaching epub file, login to your Amazon account and use Amazon's "Send to Kindle" page to drag and drop the file to your Kindle library. Once the book is in you Kindle library, you can read it from the Kindle app on your PC or Mac.​
-
On a Mac or Apple device: ​iBooks is the simple choice. It comes with the operating system and is the default reader for your Mac.​ Plus, our fixed format 4th edition looks great on it! If you prefer the Kindle experience, simply use Amazon's "Send to Kindle" page to drag and drop the file to your Kindle library.
-
On a Nook or Kobo: The 4th edition will not format properly on these devices. If you want to use non-Apple or non-Kindle devices/apps we suggest you purchase the 3rd edition of Tools for Teaching.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT eBOOK FORMAT FOR YOUR READER
-
Tools for Teaching 4th edition is only available in a "fixed format" to replicate the printed viewing experience. This format is currently supported only in Apple iBooks and Amazon readers. It is not a traditional "dynamic format" ebook where the text reflows according to your settings.
-
Our store still sells the 2nd and 3rd edition ebooks of Tools for Teaching for you to choose from if you want to read Tools for Teaching on a non-Apple or non-Amazon device.
DOWNLOADING YOUR PURCHASE
-
When you purchase the Tools for Teaching eBook you will receive a confirmation email from support@fredjones.net with a link to download your file.​
-
This email is your only link to download the file. You cannot log back into the store and retrieve a previous purchase.

DOWNLOADING TIPS
-
Make note of where the file has downloaded or been saved
-
You may need to manually open or import the file into your reader app or library
I'VE DOWNLOADED THE FILE, BUT I GET AN ERROR THAT THE FILE CAN'T BE OPENED

This usually means that you do not have an eBook reader installed on your computer. In order to read .epub files, you will need the right app. Please see "CHOOSE THE RIGHT eBOOK READER" above and install the right app for you.
