No. All the eBooks available on our website are in the EPUB file format which is not compatible with the Kindle.

EPUB files are compatible with a range of eReaders including Kobo, Nook and Sony devices. See a list of all compatible apps and eReaders.

Yes - to read eBooks on your iPhone, iPad or Android device you will need to download a free third party app which is compatible with EPUB files. We recommend the free Adobe Digital Editions app. You can download this from either the App Store or Google Play.

eBooks are designed to be read on screen and cannot be printed out.

All the eBooks on our website are EPUB files secured with DRM (Digital Rights Management). DRM is used to limit the ability to copy eBooks and ties your purchased eBooks to the Adobe ID you are using on the computer you download to.

Once you have downloaded your eBook to Adobe Digital Editions you can then transfer it to any of the devices authorised with the same Adobe ID. You can associate up to six different computers or devices with your ID.

Please note: download links can only used by one user, for a maximum of four times.

If you receive an error message instead of a download link please contact bookshop@chbookshop.co.uk.

Once purchased there is no way of returning an eBook, so we cannot exchange or refund them unless the files are faulty. Please contact bookshop@chbookshop.co.uk if you have any problems downloading your eBooks.
