Here's how to find your downloaded eBook:


Desktop Computers

Windows, macOS, Linux: Access with the Default Download Folder:


Windows: Typically, Windows saves the files in downloads to the "Downloads" folder. You can open File Explorer to find it in the "Downloads" folder.

macOS: macOS saves downloaded files to the "Downloads" folder in your user directory.

Browser-Specific Settings:


Some browsers let you set an alternative to the browser default download destination. Refer to your browser's preferences to determine if you changed the destination.


Mobile Devices (Android, iOS):


File Manager App:


Open the "File Manager" app (or equivalent) on your device.

Look for a folder called "Downloads."

Browser App:


Scanning the browser's download history or settings should identify the eBook downloaded.

To Ebooks from Online Libraries and Platforms:


Overdrive: Overdrive eBooks will be stored in your device's default download folder or directly within the Overdrive app.

Amazon Kindle: eBooks will likely be stored in the Kindle app or directly on your Kindle.

Google Play Books: eBooks from Google Play Books will likely be stored in the Google Play Books app.

If you still can't locate your eBook, try these additional suggestions:


Search on your device: Use the device's search function. Search keywords, for example, name of eBook or author.

Look in cloud apps: Whether you have Google Drive or Dropbox, it will likely have synchronized it if you have granted syncing authority.

Browser Download history: Most web browsers keep a record of recently downloaded files.

Contact provider: If you downloaded it from some website or application, contact them.

Hopefully, following the above steps, you'll be able to locate your eBooks from the download.

Hello there,

To find your downloaded e-book, follow these steps:

  1. Check the Downloads Folder : On most devices, downloaded files go directly to a “Downloads” folder. On Windows, open File Explorer and click “Downloads” on the left panel. On Mac, open Finder and go to “Downloads” under the Favorites section.

  2. Use Search Function : If you remember the e-book title or part of its filename, use the search bar in your file explorer (Windows or Mac) to locate it. On mobile, go to your file manager app and search for the e-book name or file type (e.g., PDF, EPUB).

  3. Check Your E-Reader App : If you downloaded the e-book through an app (like Kindle, Apple Books, or Google Play Books), open that app; the book might have saved there automatically.

  4. Browser Downloads : If you downloaded the e-book through a web browser, you can also open the browser’s settings or history, locate “Downloads,” and view the recent download location.
