1. Is the Adobe Reader program difficult to operate?

Adobe Reader is one of the most widely distributed (free) and used computer programs world-wide. It comes with an excellent Help program. Our free Demo-Tutorial is also of great assistance in operating our Deluxe Electronic Books in the Adobe Reader platform.   

2. What is the best version of Adobe Reader to use with these Deluxe Electronic Books?

See the discussion at Readme\Adobe Reader.

3. Will these Deluxe Electronic Books operate on the Mac and Linux operating systems as well as on the Windows platform?

Yes, these books are PDF files and they operate on all systems that can operate Adobe Reader and PDF files. One of the principle benefits of PDF (Portable Document Format) files is there universal function across all platforms. SEE Readme\ Mac OS. 

4. Why are the file sizes of your electronic books so large?

The vast majority of electronic books (eBooks) are merely plain text without any formatting. They are also, generally, without illustrations, and those present are generally of minimal quality (72 dpi).

     Our Deluxe Electronic Books are typografically formatted to the appearance of a regular book. The illustrations are of higher quality—generally 150dpi. This enables them to be enlarged on the screen and they still retain their clarity. This also provides better results if printed. It is the number and quality of our illustrations that mostly enlarge the size of our files.

5. Are these Deluxe Electronic Books primarily for the visually impaired?

Certainly the Magnification (up to 6,400X) and the Improved Read-Out-Loud features are indeed a great benefit to the visually impaired. However, these features, along with all of the other fine features, make these books also of great attraction and usefulness to all individuals. See Deluxe Features.  

6. What is the Read-Out-Loud feature?

See Readme\Improved Read-Out-Loud.

7. Why does my Read-Out-Loud program sometimes read the wrong chapter?

Some of the improved Read-Out-Loud chapter pages, especially of the Bible, are laid out on smaller than standard size. This is to diminish file size. If your Adobe Reader is set to display (in the right lower margin) to "Continuous" or "Facing" pages more than one of the smaller pages will partially or fully be visible. In this case, the program may read a chapter page other than the one you had selected. Selecting "Single" page viewing will prevent this.   

8.When I open the Demo-Tutorial program my browser warns me that the file may harm my computer. Is there any danger?

The Demo-Tutorial program is what is called a "flash" file. This is what makes it an interactive program—responsive in its operation to your choices. Unfortunately, some flash file programs are designed specifically for gathering and sending out information from your computer, ie. spyware.  Our Demo-Tutorial has no ability to gather or to send any information from your computer, and it should not cause any harm.   

9. I have CD versions of your electronic books. Do I need to install them on my hard drive?

The CD versions of our electronic books will operate in part on their respective CDs. You can open them, use all of their internal electronic links. You may or may not be able to use the read-out-loud feature. You definitely will not be able to mark where you stop reading, nor can you save any high lighting, underlining, personal comments or attach any new materials.

10.What new products are planned?

As time allows, we will be coming out with Enhanced versions of our more important books. This will include electronic links to the electronic Bible for the large scripture references and popups of the shorter references. Many will also include selected Bible Commentary notes on specific scripture references. This will make the books more in depth on each presented subject and definitely more convenient, profitable, and enjoyable. As time allows, publications by selected authors will also be added. Bookmark this site in your browser for ease in frequent check backs.  

11.I am having trouble downloading. What can I do?

There are several possible reasons for having difficulty in downloading files of this size:

a. Be sure you are using a broadband connection to the internet: If You do not have broadband, request the services of someone who does. 

b. Adjust Firewall or Anti-Virus settings: You may need to adjust or temporarily disable Firewall or Anti-Virus software settings on your computer.

c. Enable Downloads from vsdigitalinspiration.com: You may need to add vsdigitalinspiration.com to your browser list of trusted sites or allow downloads from vsdigitalinspiration.com if your browser displays a security warning.

d. Enable Download Notifications: In certain cases, your browser's security setting may be preventing file downloads without displaying any notification. If this occurs, your download will fail, but your browser will not let you know why it has blocked the action. Check your browser's security settings to make sure that notifications are enabled so you know if your browser is blocking downloads.

e. E-Mail resolution: If your inability to download fully functional files persists, explain your situation to us by E-mail: deluxeelectronicbooks@vsdigitalinspiration.com

12.How does Adobe Reader Maximize the viewing area?

There are two small icons in the left lower corner of Adobe Reader that can enlarge the viewing area for the book's pages. The farthest to the right is a square box with a minus sign (-) in it. A click on it hides most of the tools, enlarging the viewing area of your screen. Another click on the box (now with a plus sign (+)) returns to the normal view. The farthest icon to the left depicts a computer screen. A click on it enlarges the book pages to fill the entire screen. As in all views, you can navigate with the "Page Up," "Page Down," "Home," and "End" buttons. Also, a Left Click anywhere on the screen will now advance one page, and a Right Click will return one page. The Escape button will return the view to normal.
