Will it Work on My E-reader? 

IPG has invested in Adobe® Content Server as a digital rights management (DRM) solution. Adobe e-book DRM has become an industry standard, offering file encryption and protection to EPUB and PDF files and making it possible for IPG to securely distribute protected titles directly through www.ipgbook.com. To see if you can read IPG ebooks on your device and to find instructions on how to transfer purchased e-books, select your reading device from the options below or check Adobe's list of supported devices for more information.

In order to read an Adobe DRM-protected file on any device, files must first be opened and authorized through a program called Adobe Digital Editions. Download Adobe Digital Editions for free. Further instructions can be found under PC & Mac.

Note: Purchasing a PDF version of a book does not ensure that you will have the ability to print this item. Printing permissions are not active on PDFs purchased through IPG at this time.

    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:

  • After activating and authorizing your Adobe Digital Editions on your desktop, you are ready to read an e-book downloaded from IPG'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.

  • When you purchase and click "download" on www.ipgbook.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.

    Download ebook window

  • Click "OK". This will automatically download and open the file in your Adobe Digital Editions program. The e-book you've purchased from IPG can now be read and enjoyed on your PC or Mac.
