I can’t seem to access the ebooks on any of my devices.

Please then download the PDF version. This will be available on all your devices. The format is exactly the same and the information is all there, just like the printed book. However, you will not be able to use some eReader features like page-turn and will have to scroll through the pages, as with a regular PDF document.

I can open the file but some of the pages look strange, especially the ones with graphs or Facts & Figures tables or diagrams

Use your device’s menu to change font size on your device to read the book. Often, decreasing the font size can move a diagram or graph up to the previous page and show all the information together easily. You may also want to change your settings on your device to left alignment instead of justified text and/or change from landscape to portrait orientation.

Can I use Amazon Echo to listen to the eBook?

Yes. First, download the mobi file formatted for Kindle (click the Download ebook for Amazon Echo button) to your Kindle device or a Kindle app on your tablet. When it is in your library folder to ‘read,’ open the Alexa app on your device. Choose ‘Music and Books’ and browse the books to read. Alexa will read the book or sections of the book that you select.
