You should download the eBook to your computer or mobile device and then open it from there to read. If you repeatedly use the download link from your confirmation email to download and open the eBook in your browser you will eventually exceed the download limit.
If you have already exceeded your limit and have not actually saved the eBook to your computer or mobile device then forward your confirmation email to sales@jimhumblebooks.co and ask us to enable your downloads again. If you don’t have the confirmation email then you can use our contact page, but make sure to use the same name and email address that you used with your order. Also tell us the date of the order.
