Are you actually reviewing the right company?

Is it possible that the order was placed with another company, not eBooks.com? There are a lot of companies with the word "ebook" in their names. Before leaving us a damning complaint, check your credit card account (or PayPal if you paid that way) for the name of the merchant. If the name isn't exactly, and only, "EBOOKS.COM", then you'll need to contact the company that billed you -- not eBooks.com.

Couldn't have been easier, but...!

Couldn't have been easier to buy! But know that you'll probably have to download their app to read it offline... and the app is not that great. It's not intuitive - you have to swipe down from the top to get the menu to exit a book once you're in it.

Friendly

Friendly, polite, prompt customer service, good size collection of DRM free, reading material for purchase as well as reasonable DRM e-books that can still be downloaded imported to your own E reader for purchase.

I'm impressed

So far, I've found every book I was looking for. The quality of the text and the system on my iPhone app are even better than Kindle.

It goes ok. Sometimes, when searching for certain books, it would be easier if I could search per title, but filter by a specific author. Maybe it's already possible, but not so intuitive.

Hi MPM,

Thank you very much for your 4-star review.

Just so you know, you can indeed do what you wanted by clicking on the "Advanced Search" link on the right side of the search results page. There are a lot of options there to refine your search.

1. Search for a term
2. On the results page, click "Advanced Search"

I hope this helps.

The ereader app changed?

Easy purchase, easy download.
Main issue I had was the change to a new app that I was not aware of.

I had a problem with a book I purchased…

I had a problem with a book I purchased and tried to read with their iPhone app, eBooks.com. I contacted them and they walked me through the process and resolved the issue. They were extremely friendly and helpful. It turned out that the problem was actually a formatting issue with the file which they resolved on their side. I re-downloaded the book once the issue was resolved and everything was perfect. I actually found the entire process rather enjoyable. (Odd, I know, but very friendly help is a wonderful antidote to what is going on in this world!!!)

Hello Al,

Wow, thank you for this kind review. I'm going to print it and stick it on the office wall. As you say, enjoying a help-desk interaction is kind of unexpected!

I've forwarded your message to our wonderful Help Desk team (each of whom has been with us for over 15 years).

Best wishes and happy reading!
