    Important: Remember the e-mail address and password you submit as your Adobe ID to use for computer and device authorization later.

Transferring purchased files and reading on your PC or Mac:

  1. After activating and authorizing your Adobe Digital Editions on your desktop, you are ready to read an e-book downloaded from Chicago Review Press's website.  Go to the page of the title you wish to download and select the file format (ePub or PDF) you would like to read.  Adobe Digital Editions supports both file types and will allow you to read both ePub and PDF on your PC or Mac.

  2. When you purchase and click "download" on www.chicagoreviewpress.com, a window will open with a .ascm file and ask you which program you would like to use to open the file.  Toggle "Open with" and scroll to select "digitaleditions.exe" option.
