My latest attempt at trying to get a non-copyright expired book onto my ereader has failed. Something about adobe digital editions not being able to open the file because it's been damaged? This is the latest free book from christianbooks.com that other people seem to have no problem downloading. I've uninstalled and re-installed adobe stuff, still not working. The ebook won't even show up in it at all.
I grew up consuming books like food and the past 5 years have had to live without them. Now I have this chance to read them again and these technical issues are driving me crazy. First the plastic was making me ill, I waited a few months. I was able to read for just a few minutes a day, and gradually was able to stretch that out longer. I eventually finished an entire book. What an acomplishment! It was amazing.
But it'd be really, really, really nice to be able to read a book that isn't 75+ years old.
First I had a malfunctioning cable, and a miniSD card reader that wouldn't work with the card my PB came with, and a password too long that wouldn't let me connet to the PB browser, though I still haven't figured out how to use that yet after connecting. Then I tried to get books on Kobo and had issues there, have identified it's a format issue, if I buy a book then it should work with this adobe epub thing. I prefer to try things out free before spending money on them, so when I saw that Christianbook is offering a free ebook in that format I figured it'd be perfect. But, as I suspected, it isn't that simple.
I know this isn't the place for discussing ereader things, and once I'm in a more rational frame of mind I'll start yet another thread begging help off you technological ereader experts. I just was really hopeful that I was finally over the learning curve of getting ebooks from a store. I want so badly to just be able to read without restrictions and stuff keeps coming up that I can't figure out.
I'm just frustrated and very tired.
