Reading eBooks on your smart device

Your eBook download is the same copy of the Codebook you purchased in print, but has been translated into a file format capable of being read on a computer, eBook reader or a smart phone. You may use these full versions of the Codebook just as you would use your printed Codebook, but in a more portable format. You will want to download and transfer the .ZIP file to your PC or MAC computer containing the ePub or MOBI and transfer one of one of these two formats to your smart device. The format that is best for your particular device can be determined from the information below. With most devices, ePub will be the format to use, unless you are using a Kindle, Blackberry or Palm OS device, which read the MOBI version. For example if you buy an eBook from Amazon.com it will be delivered to you in MOBI format – a file type that works on Amazon’s proprietary eBook reader, the Kindle. Further details are listed below.
