Overwhelmed by ennui, I've just cut and pasted the instructions we received from our service suppliers - but what it boils down to is that you can now download directly to your devices! Hoorah!
Here's the cut and paste bit -
Direct Download to iPhone/iPad/Android Devices
We are pleased to announce that we are now able to offer direct download to both Apple (iPhone/iPad) and Android Devices.
Browsing the eLibrary Catalogue from these devices has always been possible but until now, downloading has not been an option. Our new download platform is now able to detect the device being used and offer the appropriate download methods.
Apple Device
Accessing the download window from an Apple device will result in the following screen being displayed:
Note: This download service requires that the previously recommended 3rd party app ‘BlueFire’ is installed on the device.
Hitting the download link will result in the title downloading directly into BlueFire with full digital rights management.
NOTE: BlueFire does not offer a download status bar. Therefore, there will be a period of inactivity whilst the title is downloaded. The app will only display a message once the title finishes downloading.
Android Device
Accessing the download window from an Android device will result in the following screen being displayed:
Hitting the download link will result in the title downloading directly into Aldiko with full digital rights management.
Support
We still recommend that titles are downloaded via a PC/MAC through Digital Editions and transferred to the Reader at this stage and this would be our first suggestion to anyone having any direct download problems.
Full download instructions are available in the Help/FAQ section of your eLibrary web site.
So there you have it - I shall now leave you to your own devices (ha ha - see what I did there?)
Go give it a go.
