Switch to a faster network connection

The ebooks published on our store are media-rich and may take some time to load over a slow Internet connection.

If videos freeze or take too long to load over a cellular broadband network on a mobile device, switch to wifi for better results. If you're connecting over wifi, try switching to a faster wifi network or a local-area network for better results.

Restart your browser, reset your browser's cache

It may be possible to resolve lingering technical issues by restarting your web browser, or by resetting your browser's cache. Here's how to reset your cache on our supported browsers:
