Instructions
To download Adobe Acrobat to read PDF files: before you can view it, you will need a recent (7.0 or above) version of Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you do not already have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your PC, click here and follow the instructions for downloading, opening, and installing Adobe Acrobat Reader (it’s free), then return to this page. After you have a recent version of Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your PC, you may click on the article’s title at the beginning of this paragraph to access it directly. (If you open an E-Book and instead of regular characters you see undecipherable wingdings, etc., that probably means you need to download the more recent/ current version of the Adobe Reader free software.)
If you purchase an E-Book, you will receive (electronically) a list of the items you have purchased, and a link to the downloads. There also is a “My Downloads” link in the upper-left links section of this site that brings you to your previous download purchases. You have 5 days from the date of purchase, to download the items.
Instructions on how to download the Kindle version of a book:
Log back in to homeschoolhowtos.com to downloading the Kindle file, just as you would an ebook pdf file. Save it (rather than opening it on your computer); download it to your computer. Then, do you know what your dedicated Kindle email address? (If you don’t go to Amazon.com to open your Kindle managing account to find out that email address.) Add your email address (whichever one you will be using to send the file to your Kindle email account) to the approved list of addresses in your Kindle account. Here’s how to do this: under “Manage Your Account” on the left hand side, click on “Personal Document Settings”. On that page, under “Approved Personal Document email List”, click where it says, “Add a new approved email address”. Then when that window pops up, add the address that you are sending FROM. Next, using your email function, attach the file you downloaded (that you saved to your computer) and email it to your dedicated Kindle email address. Finally, turn on your Kindle, click to open book, and select this one.

Try directly copying the username and password that was sent you, using the Ctrl & C keys, then plopping it in using the Ctrl & V keys. This is particularly helpful if you chose a number 1 or the letter l, because they look so similar.
