I don't have that add-on, and I never touched the platform selection menu at the top of the page, for iPhone/Android/KindleFire. Instead, I followed these exact steps to download the acsm file to my desktop.
TO DOWNLOAD BOOKPERK FREEBIES TO ONE'S DESKTOP:
(1) Copy the redemption code from the email
(2) Right click the link in the email, to open the Bookperk page
(3) On the BookPerk page, under the message "Mobile device only: Enter your code", paste in the redemption code, and click "Redeem"
(4) Fill out the form to create a new HarperCollins.com account or login to existing account. [Be sure to use the email address you used to subscribe to Bookperks.]
(5) Choose your book
(6) From here, there are two different things you can do. You can do either or both.
(A) DOWNLOAD TO YOUR DESKTOP:
A1-Click download (the blue button below the book cover)
A2- You may get an error message like the following:
"The address wasn't understood
Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (harper) isn't associated with any program or is not allowed in this context.
You might need to install other software to open this address."
A3-Don't worry. Merely remove harper://fulfill/ from the beginning of the book URL
A4- Refresh the page to visit the url you shortened in the previous step
A5-A URLLink.acsm dialogue box will pop up
A5- On the dialogue box, choose to open with ADE "version of your choice" or choose "Save File"
A6- Open the acsm file in ADE
(B) DOWNLOAD TO THE HARPERCOLLINS READER APP
B1-Select a mobile device profile from the top of the page, where it reads: This e-book is designed to be read with the HarperCollins Reader, which is available for both iOS, Android and Kindle Fire. Download the HarperCollins Reader:
"Available on the iPhones App Store"
"Android App on Google Play"
"Install Bluefire App on KindleFire"
B2-follow the instructions from there
