My ebook works slow or does not turn pages

All Scepter ebooks have been tested according to the EPUB standard so they do not have structure or design errors. This makes ebooks work with good speed when turning pages, view images, use links, check index, etc.

There could be problems with speed with devices that do not have updated the operating system or the version of the app you use to read the ebook. We always advise reading the ebook on updated devices.

On the other hand, we always advise that you do not have the device with almost complete storage as this will slow down the use of the same in general.

How to transfer a ebook from a device to other device?

It will depend on your computer and mobile / tablet. Check with your manufacturer how to transfer files.

Anyway, we recommend that you always use the download link you received when you purchased the app.

Remember that you can open it as many times as you want and up to 6 devices whenever you use the same Adobe ID.

This way, you can open the link from your PC and download the ebook. And then you can open this same link from your mobile / tablet and download the same ebook you already have on your PC.

It's really simple.
