Read books with an e-Reader

You can read books from Google Play on most e-readers. You’ll need to download them to your computer and transfer them to the e-reader. To do this, download the Adobe Digital Editions app.

Note: Your purchased e-book can only be associated with a single Adobe ID. Standard device limits will apply. 

Transfer books from Google Play to your e-Reader

1. On your computer, download Adobe Digital Editions and follow the instructions to install it.
2. Go to Google Play Books .
3. At the left, click My books.
4. Under the book you want to download, click More .
5. Click Download EPUB (recommended) or Download PDF (not recommended unless EPUB isn’t available).
6. Connect your e-reader to your computer.
7. Open Adobe Digital Editions. Drag the book to the name of the device you want to transfer it to.

Note: Not all books are supported for download.  Check the details page of your book in the Play Store for availability.
