<h1>CAN'T MAKE THE EBOOK WORK?</h1>
<p class="p1">We'd like to answer one other question, which is not related to the web shop: We've recently been asked why the ebook CLOSER - which we are <a title="Get the free ebook" href="../../../ebook" target="_blank">giving away for free</a> at the moment - doesn't work, or only seem to have one single page. // Well, The ebook is interactive. This means that it works a bit like a real physical book in the way you turn the pages: If you place your mouse near the corners of the page, you will see it starting to flip a bit. You can then click and drag the page. After the first page turn you can also use the arrow keys (back and forth keys) to flip the pages. If you still can't make it work, it might be due to a problem with the program you've opened the ebook with. The ebook works well with Adobe Reader, which you can download for free <a title="Download Adobe Reader for free" href="http://tinyurl.com/cpddgn" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
