  2. Once PayPal verifies payment and payment has cleared, you will be given a link to download the complete Zip file containing all the mp3 chapters (for Audio Books) or link to download the EPUB file (for E-books). You will also be sent an email with this link. Note: The product is available to download for 24 hours only, so make sure you have a reliable Internet connection. File sizes may range from 50 MB to 100 MB for Audio Books. So please make sure you have an suitable mp3 player (like Winamp) and software for opening zip files (like 7-zip).
