Using the eBook Viewer

You may view eBooks (files with .ebk extensions) by dragging and dropping the .ebk file (eBook) onto the "eBook Pro Viewer v3.0.exe".

File-Type Association Method (AKA Double-click Method) * RECOMMENDED

Once you install the viewer, a file-type association is automatically set. This means that whenever you double-click on an eBook (.ebk file), the viewer will automatically launch and open that eBook. This will enable users to easily view multiple eBooks, simply by double-clicking the filename.

You will then be asked if you want to remove your Registration from this computer. If you select "Yes", your registration will be removed from our database, and the software will be set to "reregister the next time it is run.

eBook Validation Checks

Periodically, the viewer will require that you connect to the Internet (if you are not already) so that the eBook may confirm that its registration is still valid. When it is nearing time for a check, a "Validation" box will appear upon initial startup of the viewer. To force a check and reset the time until the next check (this is useful if you will be away from an Internet connection and wish to use the viewer), select "Validate" from the dialog box.
