This is the place for Questions (and Answers) about our ebooks (and bundles)
Why should you order ebooks from Ayton not Amazon?
1) You can buy both Kindle (mobi) and epub formats from us. In fact we allow you to download BOTH file formats for the price of one book. This means you can have the ebook on more than one device and are not restricted to Kindle.
2) While our system is not as simple as Amazon's 'one click' it is secure and robust. Ordering ebooks from Amazon means they end up with 65% of the ebook price which means we get hardly anything. We cannot offer ebooks on our site cheaper than Amazon or they will price match (and we'll lose money) but we CAN offer you 'bundles' of ebooks at a reduced rate.
3) If you are a member of the Galloway Raiders (which is free) you can get discounts on ebooks.
What is the digital download proceedure?
You can buy ebooks and ebook bundles with just a few clicks. The full procedure is described below.
Is it secure?
Yes, it is as secure as any online purchase. We do not store information about you. Your 'cart' is managed by PayPal but you can pay using credit/debit card or paypal at the checkout.
What about International purchases?
We are a UK business but when you order from anywhere else in the world the price should be converted automatically at the checkout. If there's a problem with this, let us know and we will resolve it.
How do I get the file on my ereader?
With epub it is simply a drag and drop to the folder on your chosen ereader/ tablet/android device including Apple iBooks/ipad (or you can email as an attachment to iBooks and other ebook libraries such as Kobo/Nook)
People with Kindles tend to think there is no option but to buy their ebooks from Amazon. This isn't the case. You can buy from us and folllow a process called 'sideloading' (which is perfectly legitimate) to put your files onto your Kindle device. All you have to do is send the file with the titles you've bought from us as an attachment to your Kindle email address (if you don't know this you will need to access your account management section to find it) For Kindle Fires you can also use a drag and drop feature.

THE DIGITAL DOWNLOAD PROCEDURE IN FULL:
We want to give you a good shopping experience. However, we are not Amazon and so it's not quite as easy as a one click process. But our digital download procedure is secure and robust. Please read the instructions and follow them:
When you get to the Secure Cart you have to fill out your email address and your name/address details (we don’t need your phone number so leave that blank.) We do not store this information it is just for transaction purposes. Obviously we need your email address so that we can send you the digital file.
You can pay by credit/debit card or from a paypal account.
When your payment has been accepted you will receive two emails to the address you gave
1) A receipt for your purchase and
2) links to the file download. You can then choose to download Kindle or epub versions to the device of your choice (if you are using Kindle you may need to email the link to your own Kindle email). You have 24 hours to complete the purchase.

How to read on your PC if you don't have an ereader/tablet.
The good news is that you CAN read on your PC. For this we would recommend using .epub format and Adobe Digital Editions, but you can download a free Kindle for PC app as well.
