These instructions apply to Apple iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch* devices.

First, check that your device's software is up to date and that you have the iBooks app installed on it:

1. Connect your device to your computer and open iTunes. If prompted, allow iTunes to install the latest software update. When the update has completed, disconnect your device from your computer.
2. Check that you have the iBooks app on your device. If you don't, install it from the AppStore app.

Then, EITHER -

Download the eBook directly on your device:

1. Open the Safari app on your device and come to this page.
2. Click the link above for ePUB Volume 1, 2 or 3. (The link for the three volumes in a zip file will NOT work.)
3. Wait for a few seconds as it loads.
4. On the gray page that appears, select the button "Open in iBooks". (On devices with smaller screens such as iPod Touch, you may need to scroll around the page to find the button!)
5. The iBooks app will open and the eBook will appear, ready to read!

OR -

Download the eBook to your computer and sync to your device using iTunes:

1. On your computer, come to this page in your web browser (you're already here!).
2. Download the book in the ePUB format from the links above; save it somewhere you can find it easily, such as your Desktop.
3. Open iTunes on your computer.
4. Drag the ePUB files into iTunes (NOT the zip file - if you downloaded this, you will need to extract the ePUB files first). iTunes will import it, and the ebook will appear under "Books" in your iTunes Library.
5. Connect your device to your computer and sync it with iTunes.
6. Before disconnecting your device, check that the eBook has been transferred: select your device from the list on the left of iTunes, then select the "Books" tab in the window on the right. The checkbox for the Modern Buddhism eBook should be ticked. If it isn't, tick the checkbox and then select the "Sync" button at the bottom-right. iTunes will now transfer the book to your device.
7. Disconnect your device from your computer. Open the iBooks app - the eBook will appear, ready to read!
