| 5. How do I open the Zip file I just downloaded? |
Because the products we sell are rather large, we have compressed them into Zip files for fast downloads.
If your computer already has a program installed for opening Zip files, just double-click the compressed file and it should automatically extract itself (or "unzip").
If you do not already have a program installed, the links below will help you learn all about the Zip format and get a free download for either Mac or Windows:
WinZip.com
Office.Microsoft.com
Apple.com |

| 6. How do I get a zipped audiobook or back issue to a portable device, such as an iPad? |
If you are new to downloads, the process for getting an audiobook to an iPad, iPod, or similar device requires the use of iTunes software (available for Macs and PCs.) Please do not attempt to directly download to your iPad, as most of what we offer is in Zip format and your portable device will not be able to automatically unzip the compressed files.
The steps in a nutshell are:
1. Your computer receives a download.
2. You unzip the file—if it arrives compressed as a Zip file—by double-clicking.
3. You drag those uncompressed (unzipped) files to iTunes.
4. You plug your portable device into your computer.
5. You drag the new files to an icon in iTunes showing your portable device. |
|
|
| 7. WHERE did my download go? |
After the download process has completed on your browser, you will have a Zip file on your computer. For most users, the default destination is a "Downloads" folder found under your user's directory. If at some point you have chosen to create your own folder or send downloads to your desktop, that is where your AudioSeaStories.com purchase has landed.
Still no luck? Search for the file name on your computer. Unsure of what the Zip file name is? We have listed the name of each file in the product's technical description, under the summary information. (Example: "Unabridged. Approximately 10.6 hours listening time. Read by Jason Beaudoin. Download Zip file (Vengeance.zip): about 296 megabytes.") |

| 8. YES! Our digital downloads DO work on Kindle readers, too. Want to know how? |
After you unzip your downloads you will find yourself with PDF files. This is the case for both, magazines and article collections—note that the individual issues are not zipped when you download them. PDF files are compatible with Kindle 2 and newer! There are several conversion tools found online to take this step, or you can check with Kindle support.
If you have a 4th Gen Kindle, you will even be able to listen to our audiobooks on this device! |
