Downloading books from Borders
I recently came across two free books from Borders that sell for more than $7 elsewhere. I "bought" them, but when I tried to download them, I noticed that they don't have a "Download ePub" button in "My Library." Is there a way to get the physical copies of these books on my computer? Thank you!

P.S. If it's of any help, the books are:
Darcy’s Voyage: A Tale Of Uncharted Love On The Open Seas
Lydia Bennet’s Story: A Sequel To Pride And Prejudice

It depends on when you tried to download them. If you added them via the Borders Desktop app, generally you have to wait a day or two until your My Library updates to also show the ePub versions.

Those two are also still free @ Kobo, by the way.

Thank you. I ended up downloading them from Kobo too.

On Kobo the web site entry will show two pages, one for purchased and one for reading. Go to the I'm reading page and one of the two books will show up as ePUB download while the other does not. On the boarders page it is marked mobile while the other is marked mobile/epub. Looks like you will only be able to down one of them to ADE and it will be DRM.
