What is an eBook?

The term eBook applies to published materials that have been converted into digital format for electronic distribution. eBooks are much more powerful than traditional books. eBooks can be printed but cannot be copied or shared.

GD eBooks are available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week - from any location in the world.



How are eBooks produced?

GD receives new titles from a publisher or author in electronic or print format. The electronic file or print book is then converted. Non-text pictures, diagrams, and illustrations are then integrated into the converted document.



Are GD eBooks compatible with eBook readers/handheld devices?

GD eBooks can be read online. GD eBooks are compatible with Adobe Acrobat readers. The newest Adobe Reader is available for free at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

GD e-books are Adobe PDF files that have been encrypted in order to protect the copyright of the author or publisher. As with any Adobe PDF file, eBooks can be moved, copied to a folder or a CD, posted on the Web, or sent as an E-mail attachment.

To use a handheld device as an eBooks reader:

  • Place the handheld device in its synchronization cradle
  • In Adobe Reader, choose Tools > eBook Web Services > Adobe DRM Activator
  • Click the Activate Palm OS Device button


How can I pay my eBook?

You can pay by Credit Card or PayPal.



Who handles the billing?

The billing is handled by us. Immediately after your order you receive the bill by email. The secure credit card processing is handled by Worldpay.

Can I print the eBook?

Yes of course... the book comes in a very printer friendly version. We would recommend printing it. Tip: you can speed up the printing process and save ink by setting your print settings to low quality. It works perfect! But: some eBooks can not be printed due to the author's wish.
