You can convert the book you got to PDF by using Calibre.

1. Epub format
2. Android phone device
3. I have never ever opened such a book format in my device before.
4. I followed your top tips. 1st I checked and tried to download the nook app but it is not available in the playstore.
So I went for an epub reader online app.
After reading further on your tips, I downloaded the ereader prestigio app.
And I have also downloaded the kindle app too.

But despite all this downloaded apps, when I click the book from downloads, it displays,"can't open" message. Now am worried, help out please.

5. After all taking those steps, I am uniquely going wrong where I click the book from the downloads area but is is not opening instead.

6. The error message displayed when I click the book from downloads is, "Can't open file".
7. Yes I have tried all those tips.
I wish I can get the book in PDF form instead if this doesn't work.

1. Doc file.

2. Samsung J5.

3. Yes.

4. I usually click the relevant link and the rest is automated until the document opens.

5. Problem begins after download completion; I see the file but can't open it.

6. I receive an error message: Could not open 'Brutal Valour The Tragedy of Isandlwana.doc.crdownload' because it is either not a supported file type or the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded.

7. Yes, but apps are to heavy on my RAM so I've uninstalled.

If I'm having trouble accessing a book to review, shouldn't my review team update status reflect that, rather than subject me to the initial deadline? In the first instance, it updated me as "reading" automatically and bound me to a 4'day deadline.
