How our enhanced Ebooks work

Our enhanced Ebooks now feature embedded videos to improve your experience. The videos are integrated into the flow of the text, so you no longer need to juggle multiple formats or apps, and you can now see all the content in one convenient place.

The videos are contained within the Ebook file, so after the initial download you will be able to read and watch anywhere, without an Internet connection. This does mean that the file size of the Ebook is larger and takes up more space on your device than previous Ebook files, so please ensure you have enough storage space.

We recommend using the web version or desktop app for optimal performance, though phone/tablet versions work well too. On phones/tablets, the videos are best viewed in full screen. Please note you may only be able to download one book at a time, so if you are having issues viewing an enhanced Ebook on your phone, please delete old downloads.

Enhanced eBooks are exclusive to Glassboxx, which hosts eBooks bought directly from Mac Keith Press. Mac Keith Press Ebooks bought from external sources (Amazon, Apple etc) do not support this functionality.

If your order contains audiobooks and/or Ebooks you should use the Glassboxx app on your iOS or Android phone or tablet, or Windows or Mac computers (see below) or the Glassboxx desktop reader to listen to or read your books.

If you already have Glassboxx on your desktop computer, phone or tablet, go to MY BOOKS to see your new purchases.
If you don’t yet have the Glassboxx app, click the relevant link below to install it.
Log in with the email address used for your purchase.
A verification code will be sent to your email address to confirm your access.
The audiobooks and/or Ebooks you’ve just bought will be displayed on MY BOOKS.
It can take a few minutes for books to appear in the app. After logging in, tap the refresh option to make sure you have received your latest books.

PDFs and ePUBS

Some of our Ebooks are PDFs as opposed to ePUBs – PDFs offer less functionality. Due to the nature of PDFs and web pages, PDFs can’t be sufficiently protected in the browser, so to read them you will need to use the Glassboxx app using one of the links above. If you have issues viewing an Ebook in the app, try it in the desktop reader. Equally if you can’t access an eBook through the desktop reader, try reading it in the app instead.

ePUBs offer a more dynamic reading experience and better accessibility for readers with visual impairments. With ePUBs there is more flexibility to read how you want:

Change display settings to suit your preferences: font size, font type, colours, scroll mode or paginated mode, word/line spacing, etc.
Improved interactivity with content: clickable links, references, imbedded videos.
Read aloud functionality.
More robust copyright protection of digital content, to prevent unauthorised access and distribution.
