downloading from kyobo
An additional problem with buying Korean ebooks from outside of Korea is that Korean websites run ActiveX scripts that may not be compatible with most browsers.
I just tried to get a Korean ebook from Kyobo online. I want to buy something for my mom, who is more comfortable reading in Korean. My Korean is probably at the 2nd grade reading level. It is hard for me to navigate the site as my vocabulary is so limited. With some help from the Korean to English built-in translator in the web browser, I have managed to create an online account. However, when I tried to download one of the free ebooks, I keep getting errors.
The message appears to be about ActiveX controls, and so I switched to Internet Explorer (version 9) from Google Chrome. I also made security changes in Internet Explorer so that the scripts would either be enabled or I would be prompted to accept or reject them. I am not sure why the Kyobo site says there are problems.
Does anyone have advice on how to download from Korean websites?
