How can I access my ebooks?
Books downloaded for Hoid’s Storybook Campaign are DRM free and are not tied to any specific device or service. Whether an EPUB file for The Fires of December or a PDF of the four picture books, most dedicated ereader devices will show the books easily. Additionally, many free and paid programs or applications are available for use on your computer, laptop, phone, or tablet devices to read these books.
If you wish to test downloading and adding an ebook to your device in the EPUB format Dragonsteel uses, Brandon’s ebooks of The Way of Kings Prime and Dragonsteel Prime are available for free download on the Dragonsteel Books website. Below are some options to get the books on your selected device.
Apple Books
On a Mac, you can use the free Books app that comes pre-installed. Not only can you use it to read ebooks and listen to audiobooks, but you can also sync those ebooks and audiobooks with your iPhone and iPad devices!
Calibre
Calibre is a free resource to assist in transferring your book to your device. This program manages your local ebook library files for you. It will detect most ereaders when they are connected to your computer and can send selected books directly to the ereader on command. As a bonus, you can also use Calibre to read your ebooks directly on your computer!
Kindle
The Kindle app is a free app for most devices. Using the Send to Kindle feature, you can open local EPUB files from your iPhone or iPad, email books to your kindle app, or upload them via a web browser.
Kindle devices have unique options through the “Send to Kindle” feature. With this, you can upload your books to your Kindle Library. Books and other documents added with this feature will not be listed as Kindle books in your library, but will be found only in your “Personal Documents” or “Docs” area of your library.
Books and files can be uploaded through the Send to Kindle webpage, emailed to a device (and are then accessible to all other linked devices), or through the kindle app on your Android or iOS device.
Google Play Books
Google Play Books is a free option which allows you to upload your PDF or EPUB books to your online Play Books library. Once uploaded, you can access them at any time from any internet connected web browser. As an additional benefit, you can also read them on any internet connected device that has the Play Books app or can connect to the web browser.
Moon+ Reader
Moon+ Reader is a free app for mobile devices. One of the best features of this app is the ability to backup and sync your ebooks and reading positions between multiple android phones and tablets using Dropbox or other online services. Moon+ Reader is ad-supported, but a paid Moon+ Reader Pro version is required if you want to remove ads. The pro version adds additional features, such as text-to-speech and theming, as well as control bar customization options.
ReadEra
ReadEra is a simple, ad-free ebook reader. A paid version is available, which includes the ability to use Google Drive to sync books and reading positions across android devices, use your own fonts, and add a library view to customize how your books are presented.
Note
Dragonsteel is unable to provide technical assistance in downloading these files or adding them to your device, regardless of the methods or apps you use. You are responsible for knowing and understanding how to access, download, and import your digital rewards, or for obtaining competent assistance. Dragonsteel makes no warranty or guarantee in regard to the use of programs or methods discussed in this article.
