Download and Install Microsoft Reader

1. Make sure you're using Microsoft Internet Explorer as you web browser (Their site isn't friendly for Firefox, Opera, etc).
2. Download Microsoft Reader from http://www.microsoft.com/reader/

3. You will need to "activate" the Reader program on every computer or device that you intend to use for reading your ebooks. Therefore, if you have a PC at home, a laptop for work and a handheld device, you will need to activate MS Reader once on each machine. The link to activate the program (once it's installed on the machine) is: http://das.microsoft.com/activate/en-us/default.asp

   If you do not yet have a Microsoft Passport, you can create one when activating the software. If you do have a Passport, simply sign in and proceed with the activation process.

   Note: if you have a Pocket PC attached to your PC, you will have two options on the activation page:

   1. 'Activate my computer' - use when activating your PC
   2. 'Activate my Pocket PC' - use when activating an attached device

Please note: you must have access to Admin privileges on your windows based PC to allow Active X controls which are required to activate MS Reader. Corporate PCs may not allow you to login as Administrator.
