I could never download anything from Google books. I suppose they don't host ebooks themselves and merely show excerpts from ebooks hosted on other sites? What is ADE?

We were referring to the books for sale on Google Play Books.

ADE is Adobe Digital Editions.

It's difficult to find how to download books from Google Play - I usually have to Google it to figure out where to do it.

I can't get GP books on my computer but it is just a couple of touches on my tablet.
Their search engine drives me nuts.

I had a problem with downloading a book I had bought from Google Play and tried to reach their support. No response to my first try after two working days. So I tried again, using a different option on the reclamation form. This time there was an instant response: I got an email confirming the cancellation of my purchase. Within minutes the book had disappeared from Google Play, and within hours my refund was confirmed. That was fast, but all I wanted was help on how to download the book with ADE!!!

So I ended up buying the book on Kobo, for 4 euros more. And all for nothing since I had the exact same problem with the Kobo book, since the problem came from ADE (I messed up the authorization and it took me quite a bit of internet searching to figure out and solve the problem).

I didn't try to get help from Kobo and they probably wouldn't have helped for this problem, but at least they answer e-mails. At least they did last time I had a problem with a book. And they did cancel my purchase in the end, but not before I asked for it. Oh well. Don't know if my experience of support at both companies is typical, but there it is.
