What is an eBook?
An eBook is quite simply a book in electronic format that you read on your screen and also be printed from your computer. Most ebooks are in Adobe Acrobat format (PDF) unless otherwise noted. PDF is a universal format that can be displayed on both PC and MAC as well as some handheld devices.
Why should I read eBooks instead of paper books?
eBooks have a number of advantages, including immediate availability and an enhanced reading experience through highlighting, search, and notes. eBooks can also be read out loud for you by the computer (if enabled by publisher).

6. What will my credit card charges say?
Your credit card or bank account will reflect "2CheckOut.com" or "PayPal.com" it will *NOT* say UpgradeYourLife.net, so please make a mental note of this so when your bank statement arrives you won't have a question.
7. Is there a "Hard Copy"?
There is no hard copy of the ebook available. You may print out one
copy (from your home printer, or a commercial print shop), and digital
backup (flopy, CD, etc). Unless otherwise specified, you may not
re-sell or give away this ebook in any form.
8. The links in the ebook won't work.
If you click the "web" links in the ebook (blue underlined links) and they don't take you to a web page -- Make sure your computer is *online and connected to the web*.
If you get an error that says something to the effect that no web browser is configured to work with Adobe Acrobat Reader then try this:
In Adobe Acrobat Reader go to "File" then "Preferences" then "Web Link" and choose your browser in the WWW Browser Application.
You will need to find the .exe file for the browser by clicking the "browse" button.
Your browser .exe file (usually either Netscape or Internet Explorer) can sometimes be found in your "Program Files" folder.
Any more tech support on this issue should come from Adobe or your computer vendor, (or AOL if you use them) since we cannot be sure where to tell you to look on your hard drive for your browser's .exe file.
This should solve the problem of being able to click directly on the links and have them take you to the web.
9. I can't print the book / it stops printing at a certain page.
Two things we can offer with what is most likely your computer acting up rather than the ebook file.
1. Try restarting your computer and printer.
If that doesn't work....
2. When you have the ebook open in Acrobat -- go to File, Click Print, then down in the middle where it says "Print Range" fill in Pages from with about 20 or 30 pages (example 45-75).
Try printing the book out chapter by chapter.
I will respond as quickly as possible.
