You may look at the choices above and ask, "Which is the one for me?" The one for you depends on the type of computer you have and the device you want to use for reading ebooks. You may want to follow each of the links above and read the posted system requirements for each reader program. Since each developer offers a free version of their reader program, you should feel free to download whichever one looks best, or you can download all four.
A Word of Warning
The four ebook formats are not compatible with each other. This is very important to understand. Once you've downloaded a reader program, installed it, ran it, gained a basic understanding of how it works, and want to purchase some ebooks for your reader program, you must note which reader program you are using. If you are using eReader, for example, you can only read Palm format ebooks in eReader. You cannot read Adobe, Microsoft, or Mobipocket format ebooks in eReader.
Finally, we ask you to understand that Adobe, Microsoft, Palm, and Mobipocket are each responsible for the development and technical support of their reader programs. In other words, if you experience difficulty downloading, installing, or using a reader program, we ask you to direct your questions to the developer of the reader software. Although we'd love to help you dive into our ebooks, we lack the capability to support reader programs developed outside of Zondervan.
So, go ahead, download a free reader program, say goodbye to lugging around bulky hardcover books, and enter the digital age.
