1) epub

3) No
4) file manager> phone storage> browser> download> A-Kingdom-Forgotten> wps office.
5) The file opens up. But the text in the file is cryptic and unintelligible.
6) No. The file opens up.
I don't want to read and review books anymore. I want to keep my account though. I can give my thoughts to the reviews.

You need an App to read it, as explained in the first post. You can quit the book via your Update tab.

Hi, first go at this.

1. PDF
2. Fire tablet
3. No
4. N/a
5. N/a
6. No error message. It downloads, but when I open it, it's just the flier for the book with the cover and bookclub's review. Only 1 page. I don't think it's a device problem.

Thanks for your help. I really don't want to get dinged for my first review.

If the file is at fault, you need to report it via your Update tab.

I had the same problem with that book a couple of months ago, so I can say that it's the wrong file. As gali suggested, report it to close your application to review that book.

Thank you! I'm glad it wasn't me. Unfortunately, i didn't see the report error problem as a status update. I hope my score won't go negative before i even start!?

If the deadline to submit your review hasn't already pass, you can still report the error as a status update.

Having trouble downloading a straightforward pdf, which I have downloaded before both on Online books and from other sources in the recent past. I am trying to download onto my laptop. I normally just double click on the pdf. In this case I have saved the pdf and it still will not open. Yes I have read top tips and tried to download Nook app (not that I need it for this book) and it tells me Nook is not compatible with my laptop device. Now the PDF download is just whirling round at the bottom of my screen so I cannot even go to my files to open it up as it says - trying to open in another app on this device.
Suggestion: that the Reply to this Topic box is placed under the instructions for sending a Reply with all the information required. I had to keep scrolling back to the top to see what I had to do next.

Yes, it had passed. It was my first go and I blew it. Oh boy. I'll try again with another book.

1. PDF
2. PC
3. yes
4. open with acrobat reader, or open with Edge, or open with Chrome
5. The file only has 1 page (the cover)
6. no error message
7. I read the tips (no apps for pdf)

I also sent an error report -just in case- because I only have an hour for the 'downloaded' deadline

You should have reported it via the Update tab, so you did well.

That's good then Is it possible to get the same book to read and review? (it's my first) or should I keep waiting for other books?

You will have to wait for the answer to your report. If you are removed from the review of the book, you can pick another.

1. PDF

3. Yes
4. I usually download the file and open it using a pdf reader, I think the problem might be the file itself.
5. When I open the file, there's only one page and it's the cover only.
6. No error appears, but I only see the cover.
7. Yes I did, and I tried Kindle to open the pdf, but it's the same issue.
