Downloading Your Purchase(s)

How many downloadable products do you carry?
At the KeyBookshop.com eStore we offer thousands of titles from a variety of educational publishers which can be purchased and downloaded seven days a week, 24 hours a day. We are also adding new titles and publishers on a regular basis.

What is the advantage of downloading my purchase?
Downloading from KeyBookshop.com eStore is fast and convenient. Instead of waiting for your order to arrive by mail, you can download your purchase within minutes of completing your order. Downloading also saves money as you don't pay delivery charges or state sales tax.

How do I get my purchased materials downloaded onto my computer?
After you have submitted your order we will confirm your order in the form of a screen called a "Smart Receipt". You will then be ready to download your purchase. To begin downloading click on "Download Item Now". Your file will then begin downloading as a PDF file. If you have purchased software, it will be in a compressed archive format. In order to view PDF files, your computer needs a copy of Acrobat Reader installed on it. Acrobat Reader is free from Adobe, and can be downloaded safely and installed quickly on your machine. This free program will enable you to view and print any PDF file. Most PC's running Windows operating systems do not come with Acrobat Reader installed. Most newer Macintosh systems come with Acrobat Reader installed. We have found that older versions of Acrobat Reader have difficulty reading and/or printing small portions of a few of our downloads. We recommend that you use the latest version of Acrobat Reader when downloading.

When your file has completed downloading it will appear on the screen as a PDF file. It is important to save the file now. Under the File menu bar scroll down to "Save As". In order to be able to read the file after you have saved it be sure to save the file as a "Source" file.

You will also receive an e-mail message from the KeyBookshop.com eStore confirming your order and giving you a web site address to access for downloading your purchase. To access the site log-on with your Internet browser and enter the eStore URL provided in the email. After you have entered your User Name and Password you will be shown a screen detailing each of your purchases. To begin downloading simply click on "Download Item Now".

What if my computer crashes or the power goes out while the file is being downloaded?
If your computer crashes or the power goes out simply restart your computer and return to the website URL provided by e-mail from the KeyBookshop.com eStore. Enter your User Name and Password and begin your download again. You have seven days to download your order from the time of purchase.

How long will my purchase take to download?
The time it takes for your product order to download depends on the speed of your modem and the size of the file you are downloading. Listed below are approximate download times depending on your modem.
