Downloads

Every one of David Ball’s books is here to download — as an EPUB for Kindles and other e-readers, or as a PDF for printing and reading on a computer. They are rebuilt from the text on this site, so they match what you read online, and they are free to keep and share.

Which format should I choose?

• EPUB — best for e-readers. Ideal for Kindle, Kobo, Apple Books, phones and tablets. The text reflows to fit any screen and you can change the type size to suit you. See how to add one to your e-reader below.
• PDF — best for printing. Keeps each book’s original printed page layout exactly, and is the better choice for reading on a computer or running off a paper copy. (A PDF will open on an e-reader too, but the fixed pages can look small on screen.)

Adding a book to your e-reader

First download the EPUB for the book you want from the list above. Then:

On a Kindle

Amazon’s free Send to Kindle service delivers the book wirelessly to your device. Any one of these three ways works — pick whichever suits you:

1. From a computer. Go to amazon.co.uk/sendtokindle, sign in with your Amazon account, and drag the downloaded EPUB onto the page. It appears on your Kindle within a minute or two.
2. By email. Email the EPUB as an attachment to your own …@kindle.com address. (You’ll find or set yours on Amazon under Account → Manage Your Content and Devices → Preferences → Personal Document Settings.) It lands on your Kindle automatically.
3. From a phone or tablet. Install the free Kindle app, then tap the downloaded EPUB, choose Share, and pick Kindle.

If an older Kindle won’t open a book, send it by the email method above and Amazon will convert it for you.

On a Kobo, iPad, iPhone or other reader

Most e-readers open EPUBs directly. On an iPhone or iPad, tap the downloaded EPUB and choose Apple Books. On a Kobo, plug it into your computer and copy the EPUB into the device, or use the Kobo app. Other readers and reading apps — PocketBook, Moon+ Reader, Calibre and the rest — take EPUB files the same way.
