Your eBook or audiobook is delivered through the Glassboxx app, which works on Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS — and there's also a browser version if you'd rather read or listen on your laptop.

Here's how to access your purchase:

1. Download the Glassboxx app from the App Store, or Google Play. Windows and macOS versions are also available.
2. Log in using the email address you used to make your purchase. If you don't have a Glassboxx account, you can register with the same email.
3. Your eBook or audiobook should appear in the app, ready to read or listen to. Occasionally this can take a few minutes to sync.

If you've purchased from us before, your new title will appear alongside your existing library in the Glassboxx app.

Prefer to read in a browser? Go to reader.glassboxx.com and log in with the email address you used at checkout.

Having trouble with the app? Visit the Glassboxx FAQ or email help@glassboxx.com.

For any other issues, email us at hello@akoyapublishing.com with your order number and we'll help.

Due to the nature of digital products, we're generally unable to offer refunds on eBooks or audiobooks once they've been delivered. If you've had a technical problem accessing your purchase, please get in touch and we'll do our best to resolve it.
