Downloads FAQ

For ease of installation, the best method to download the audio books, ringtones or alarms is on a computer. If you are on an iPad, iPhone, Android, etc., you’ll have to download the files to your computer and sync the files to your device through a USB cable/iTunes. If you have any questions, contact us.

How to download the audio books:

  • Once you have purchased an audio book, you will receive a link to download the audio file.
  • Download the audio book file. The file will be in a zipped folder.
  • Zipping a file creates a compressed version of the file that is considerably smaller than the original file. The zipped version of the file has a .zip file extension.
  • To unzip the file on a windows-based PC, right-click the file, such as how-does-she-do-it.zip, and then click Extract on the shortcut menu.
  • To unzip the file on a Mac, the default unzip program will automatically open, and you can then choose where you want the unzipped version of that file to be saved on your computer. If you do not have a default zip program, software such as Stuff It Expander, Jzip, etc. are available online.

How to download a ringtone or alarm:

  • Once the download is complete, find the file on your computer (normally within your “downloads” folder.)
  • Double-click on the .m4r file.
  • If iTunes is installed on your computer, the file will automatically open and import it to iTunes.
  • Within iTunes, click on “ringtones” or “tones” in the left-hand bar. You should find your new .m4r file in here.
  • Drag it to your iPhone or iPad’s folder when it’s plugged in to your computer, or just click “sync” tones.

If you have a Blackberry, Android or other device that does not support (.m4r) files, there are many online services that can convert the .m4r file to a .mp3 or .mp4 file.

You can also email the file to yourself (if you can access email on your phone), or email it as a text. Your phone’s email address is your 10-digit number at your carrier’s email URL. Example: 5555555555@company.net

  • Click on the “music” or “audible” folder out (it should be within the three file folders that are listed on your Kindle.) This will open the folder so that you can transfer music or mp3 files easily onto your Kindle. If the “audible” or “music” folder does not exist, then create one.

  • Enjoy listening to the books on your Kindle!
