File-Type Association Method (Double-clicking) - RECOMMENDED
Once you install the viewer, a file-type association is automatically set. This means that whenever you double-click on an eBook (.ebk file), the viewer will automatically launch and open that eBook. This will enable users to easily view multiple eBooks, simply by double-clicking the filename.
Drag and Drop Method
You may view eBooks (files with .ebk extensions) by dragging and dropping the .ebk file (eBook) onto the "eBook Pro Viewer v3.0.exe".
Registering an eBook
To begin viewing an eBook, the user must enter an activated username and password in the Registration Login box. You can bring up the Login box by selecting "Register/Unregister" from the "Help" menu, or by clicking anywhere inside the viewer. You must be connected to the Internet to register.
eBook Validation Checks
Periodically, the viewer will require that you connect to the Internet (if you are not already) so that the eBook may confirm that its registration is still valid. When it is nearing time for a check, a "Validation" box will appear upon initial startup of the viewer. To force a check and reset the time until the next check (this is useful if you will be away from an Internet connection and wish to use the viewer), select "Validate" from the dialog box.
Unregistering an eBook
Do not use this feature unless you want to lock your eBook permanently and render it inaccessible. Please note that if you unregister your eBook, you will not be able to register it again and your eBook will be permanently unviewable.
