English 1101 - Hicks (Floyd) - Spring 2014 - Stephens: Loading E-Books onto an iPad/iPhone/Android tablet

Bluefire Reader is a free app for iphone/ipad/android tablets which organizes eBooks from public libraries, independent bookstores and national retailers into a single reading environment on mobile devices,

You can checkout and download most of our ebooks straight from your ipad/tablet's web browser into Bluefire Reader.

***IMPORTANT***

You MUST create an Adobe ID AND authorize your Bluefire Reader with it.

Why?? Bluefire Reader supports Adobe eBook DRM because it's become an industry standard across a wide variety of booksellers and public libraries. Adobe DRM allows you to transfer books that you've purchased from many different booksellers between your reading devices and personal computers. Read more about this under Content Portability on the Digital Editions FAQs.
