A note on reading downloaded files on your ereader platform (Kindle, Nook, PC, MAC, etc.)
PC or Mac
- Go to your Library page on ganxy.com and click on the download button. If you’re on the receipt page, skip to the next step. (If you need to log in, you’ll find a user name and password in the “Welcome to Ganxy!” email that you received.)
- Click the Download PDF button.
- Save the file to a location on your computer where you can easily find it again.
- Double click on the file once it has been downloaded to your computer.
If the book doesn’t open, click here to download the free “Adobe Reader” app. After downloading and installing Adobe Reader, double click on the file that you downloaded and it should open.
Kindle
You can use your computer to transfer the book to your Kindle either by sending it to your device via email(option 1) or via free app that Amazon provides (option 2).
Option #1: Sending via email:
- Log into ganxy.com and click the ”download” button next to where you’ll see the book listed. (If you need to log in to the website, you’ll find a user name and password in the ”Welcome to Ganxy!” email that you received.)
- Click the ”Download MOBI” button and save the file to a location on your computer where you can easily find it again. (”Download PDF” button will work too in case there is no “Download MOBI” button.)
- Press the ”Home” button on your Kindle, and then press the “Settings” button. You will see an email address that ends with @kindle.com – email the MOBI or PDF file to that address.
- The file should arrive within minutes into your ”Docs” tab if your Kindle is connected to the internet.
Note: Amazon might send you an email with instructions on how to add your email address to the list of approved email addresses. If you’re still experiencing problems, try option #2 below.
Option #2: Using Amazon’s free app:
Here’s what to do:
- Download and install Amazon’s free ”Send to Kindle” app on your PC or Mac: http://amazon.com/sendtokindle – it’s important to use the PC or Mac applications, and not the Chrome or Firefox plugins (they won’t do the job)
- Go to your “Library” page on ganxy.com and click on the “download” button. If you’re on the receipt page, skip to the next step. (If you need to log in, you’ll find a user name and password in the “Welcome to Ganxy!” email that you received.)
- Click the ”Download MOBI” or ”Download PRC” button and save the file to a location on your computer where you can easily find it again. (You do not need to open this file on your computer – only save it.)
- Right click on the file once it’s downloaded and choose the ”Send to Kindle” option (on a Mac, right click by holding down the ”Control” button when you click) (on a PC, it looks like this: Click to see screenshot ).
- Select which device to send it to (in the ”Deliver to:” section).
- Click ”Send”.
Make sure that your Kindle (or other device using a Kindle app) is connected to WiFi. The book should appear there within minutes.

There are three options for downloading the book onto your Kindle Fire. You can transfer it from your computer to the Kindle Fire (options #1 and #2), or you can download directly to the Kindle Fire if you’re using it right now (option #3). Option 3 is for expert users: we suggest trying #1 or #2 first.

Common issues:
- Some issues can often be solved by restarting your Kindle. To reset the device, press and hold the power button on the bottom of the Kindle for a full 20 seconds. Then hold the power button for 2 seconds to turn the device back on.

You can remove the corrupt copy by finding it in your bookcase section (“Device” – not “Cloud”) on the Kindle Fire. Hold your finger on the book you want to remove until a little menu will open. It will say ‘add to favorites’ or ‘remove from device’. Tap ‘remove from device’.

As one of the published writers, I am naturally enthusiastic about ths new sales outlet. Potentional buyers should keep in mind that a purchase here to a good book, (Hah! I’m the prejudiced author)
