Advantages of eBooks  by  Schoenhofs
Digital books also known as eBooks have many advantages. They can be purchased 24/7 and delivered within minutes without any need to wait for a book to be shipped. In addition, digital readers provide many reading features such as enlarging the size of characters that is not available with physical books. All your books can be archived digitally and accessed from anywhere in the world with no need for physical space.

How to purchase an eBook  by  Schoenhofs
Find an eBook by using our search feature or specific eBook category menus. On the eBook product page, if the title is available for sale, you'll be able to add the title to your shopping cart. When checking out, be sure to create a Schoenhofs.com account by selecting a username / password so that you can download your eBook from your account in the future. Note that in order to checkout, you must be using a credit card that's registered in the United States with a billing address also in the United States. This limitation is in place due to publisher territorial requirements.

After checkout, you will receive an email confirming your order and a few minutes thereafter a second email with a link to download the eBook to your PC. Note the link is time sensitive and expires. If your link has expired, you can download your eBook by logging on to your Schoenhofs.com account. Pull up your order and a download link will be available next to your eBook title.

You can create your Adobe ID when prompted within Adobe Digital Editions, or go directly to the Adobe.com, select “My Adobe” in the top-right corner, then click on “My Adobe ID” and follow the instructions for creating an Adobe ID.
