3. No. This is the first time.

I cannot open the book (it did not download in epub) and I cannot download the, app. on my android since my android does not have Google play store. I have an epub reader so I thought I could use that to read. But alas no book.

I hope I can restore this problem. I really want to read the book

You need the App to read it. If the tips don't help, you need to report it or quit the book via your Update tab.
